In 2019, we have introduced a new system that improves the safe application of the proton beam onto the SINQ target. The basic idea is that we detect the beam position directly in the target with a two-dimensional network of temperature sensors. The temperature measurement is done with type-K thermocouples directly in our Zircaloy target rods. This system is called TBPS (Target Beam...
The High Brilliance Neutron Source (HBS) project is developing a high-current accelerator-driven neutron source (HiCANS) to maintain a healthy neutron landscape in Europe. Despite the lower primary neutron yield of the nuclear reactions compared to reactor or spallation neutron sources, HiCANS achieve a competitive neutron brightness by a compact moderator and reflector design, which makes a...
AMATERAS[1] is the disk-chopper type neutron spectrometer for measuring inelastic and quasielastic neutron scattering in the energy range from cold to sub-thermal neutron regions with high efficiency and fine resolution. In 2021, AMATERAS extended the neutron guide to focus neutrons and increase intensity at the sample position. In the opportunity, we evaluated neutron flux at the sample...
Diffusion controls almost microscopic processes such as element partition, microstructure evolution, structural order, and dislocation climb, which is closely related to the creep strength of Ni-based superalloys. In this study, the effects of Re, Mo and Ta on vacancy-mediated diffusion and structural order of γ'-Ni3Al have been systematically evaluated via incorporating first-principles and...
