Liquid Deuterium Cold Source Concept for the NIST Neutron Source

July 5, 2024

Author(s)

John Jurns, Philipp Arnold, Jeremy Cook, Osman Celikten

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) houses an aging reactor that serves more than 40 % of all cold neutron research needs in the U.S. First critical in 1967, the National Bureau of Standards Reactor

Progress Towards Operation of a Deuterium Cold Neutron Source at the NCNR

June 1, 2020

Author(s)

John M Jurns, Michael Middleton, Robert E. Williams

The NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) operates a 20 MW research reactor that produces neutrons for a suite of 30 neutron scattering instruments. 70% of these instruments use cold neutrons (E 2), which is in turn cooled by a recently commissioned 7 kW
