Abstract:
The European Spallation Source (ESS), presently well on its way to completion, will soon provide the most intense neutron beams for multi-disciplinary science. Fortuitously, it will also generate the largest pulsed neutrino flux suitable for the detection of Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CE$\nu$NS), a process recently measured for the first time at ORNL's Spallation Neutron Source. We describe innovative detector technologies maximally able to profit from the order-of-magnitude increase in neutrino flux provided by the ESS, along with their sensitivity to a rich particle physics phenomenology accessible through high-statistics, precision CE$\nu$NS measurements.Keywords:

The research for intermediate energy proton accelerator driven radiologically clean nuclear power system has attracted considerable attention. The spallation neutron source induced by intermediate energy proton nucleus interaction is a key point and has not solved yet for the transmutation and applications. The theoretical programs related to the spallation neutron source for accelerator driven system (ADS) are discussed at present work.

The European Spallation Source (ESS) requires 5 MW of proton beam power which is a factor of five larger in power compared to existing spallation facilities. To accommodate the high power, the ESS facility will pioneer the long pulse concept. The proton linac sourcing the neutron spallation target will be a 2 GeV superconducting linac that requires 125 MW of peak RF power at 704 MHz.

A Spallation Neutron Source Systems Model has been developed to facilitate parameter and cost studies of accelerator-based spallation neutron source (SNS) systems. This model includes modules for all pertinent components and processes, such as accelerators and rings, target (neutron source), experimental facilities, conventional facilities, construction costs, preoperational costs, etc. Present accelerator modules include room temperature linacs, accumulator rings (AR) and rapid cycling synchrotrons (RCS). All the modules in the model are linked together via an optimizer to facilitate overall trade studies. The model has been developed for and used by the National Spallation Neutron Source (NSNS) project to be built in Oak Ridge.

Stainless steels are often used as target structural materials for spallation neutron sources. The spallation neutron source system is one of the key parts of the ADS system, which provides the source neutrons for driving a sub-critical assembly. Stainless steel (SS) is used for the beam window and target materials of the ADS spallation neutron source system.

We consider temperature stabilization of the phase-reference line at the European Spallation Source, a facility for neutron spallation currently under construction. Based on extensive modeling of the heat dynamics, a prototype model-based control system with associated hardware architecture is developed and experimentally evaluated on a small-scale setup. The results indicate that temperature stability within ±0.1°C is possible to achieve, also with significant disturbances in the ambient temperature expected during operation.
