Simulation Methods and Results of the SINQ Cold Neutron Source Upgrade Study
Journal of Physics Conference Series(2018)
摘要
Changing the configuration of the cold neutron source during a planned extended shutdown of the Swiss Spallation Neutron Source (SINQ) is being considered for improving performance of instruments at SINQ that use cold neutrons. The cold neutron source consists of a 20 L volume of liquid D-2 at approximately 25 K. This study includes making the re-entrant hole external, redesigning the re-entrant hole geometry, adding a Pb-208 reflector, replacing the zirconium safety hulls, adding cryogenic beryllium reflector/filters, and incorporating an active ortho-D-2 conversion loop. The optimization methods and the effects of the best-case modifications at all six neutron guides are presented. The best case design is predicted to yield a maximum gain factor of 1.5 in cold neutron intensity.
