Optimizing neutron moderators for a spallation-driven ultracold-neutron source at TRIUMF

Kavli Affiliate: A. C. Davis | Summary:We report on our efforts to optimize the geometry of neutron moderators and converters for the TRIUMF UltraCold Advanced Neutron (TUCAN) source using MCNP simulations. It will use an existing spallation neutron source driven by a 19.3 kW proton beam delivered by TRIUMF’s 520 MeV cyclotron. Spallation neutrons will […]
