NEUTRON SOURCE BASED ON THE MULTIFUNCTIONAL ACCELERATOR COMPLEX OF THE NSC KIPT

Abstract

An overview of existing neutron sources in the world, which are used for fundamental and applied research in various fields of science and technology, was conducted. The possibility of creating a neutron source on the basis of a superconducting electron accelerator, which is the basis of the multi-functional accelerator complex of the National Science Center NSC KIPT, was considered. Based on the design parameters of the electron beam, the intensity of the neutron beam was estimated.
