| Research Abstract |
High power spallation neutron sources with a power of MW class are now under construction in Japan and the USA, and in the Europe a higher power spallation neutron source with a power of 5 MW is now under planning. The neutron production part (target/moderator/reflector system : TMRS) of the facility is most important since it determines the performance of the facility. In this project, we studied the TMRS and got the results described below.
We could introduce a new simulation code by collaborating with Los Alamos, and it has been a very powerful tool for optimization. We succeeded to increase effectively the intensity from a hydrogen moderator by introducing the heavy water pre-moderator. As a new type moderator we examined HD and CH3D moderators and got information about the neutron characteristics on the partially deuterated material.
We measured the neutronic performance of LANSCE at Los Alamos, the second highest power spallation source in the world. We could check the validity of the simulation and get information on ortho-para transition at high radiation field.
We have obtained very useful information on the design of the new spallation neutron sources in Japan, which is also useful for other future spallation sources.
