Neutrons for the Future

Abstract
Producing neutrons in quantities sufficient for most applications is challenging and requires centralized facilities that develop and deploy cutting-edge instrumentation for the Nation's scientific and engineering communities. For over 50 years, the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) has been at the forefront of neutron science, serving the Nation's need for these essential measurement capabilities. However, as the current reactor ages, planning has begun for a replacement facility. This 2023 workshop titled "Neutrons for the Future," attended by over 200 participants from across the US, produced critical insights into the future of neutron measurement science and, therefore, the requirements for a future NIST Neutron Source (NNS). The conceptual design of the NNS, accompanying facilities, equipment, and staffing, will be directed by key findings and priorities identified in this workshop.Citation
