3 1. Spallation The main sources of neutrons There are many ways to produce neutrons There are three ways to produce very high, controlled fluxes of neutrons 2. Nuclear reactors 3.Breakup reactions with loosely bound nuclei -most obviously deuterons[binding energy 2.23 MeV] Neutron sources are important because 1. They have many uses studies of condensed matter - biological studies - astrophysics 2. We need to shield against the neutrons produced in our applications and we need good sources to understand their interactions and we need good neutron detectors.
4 Spallation Reactions [10 fast neutrons per proton at 500 MeV]
5 Neutrons from Deuteron Breakup graphite deuterons 40MeV,5mA neutrons UCx Either we use the neutrons directly behind the target. This happens in IFMIF to test how materials in a fusion reactor (ITER) withstand constant bombardment by ncm 2 s -1, Or we can use the neutrons to induce fission in a uranium carbide target. The resulting fission products can then be extracted, ionised, accelerated and used in experiments. This is the basis of the SPIRAL-2 project at GANIL in France.
6 Why do we need Multi-MW Beams? The drive comes from several areas: 1) Spallation neutron sources 2) Accelerator Driven sources for Transmutation 3) Testing materials for fusion reactors 4) Creating Radioactive Ion Beams 5) Creating Beta beams( Focussed beams of low energy neutrinos) 1,2 & 3) all involve the creation of high fluxes of neutrons either by Spallation or by breakup of deuterons. 4 & 5) may or may not involve the creation of a high neutron flux. In general we need beams of intensity 2-5 ma or more. In spallation the beam usually consists of GeV protons.
7 The need for Nuclear Power One could debate the need for a new fleet of nuclear generation stations endlessly Building such a fleet is inhibited/prohibited by public perception of problems/risks associated with a)storage of long-lived toxic waste b)weapons proliferation c)chernobyl-style accidents In principle one could create systems which essentially eliminate all these problems One such system advocated in Europe and the U.S. is the so-called Accelerator Driven System (ADS) for the transmutation of nuclear waste. In this proposal one builds a fleet of ADS systems alongside the new set of reactors. In essence one has a system to destroy actinides and fission fragments when they are withdrawn from the reactor. Basic idea-high energy protons on a heavy solid/liquid target to produce high neutron flux. The target is surrounded by a sub-critical core and then by a blanket of liquid waste. This requires front end partitioning but not exit partitioning. At the end the waste can go directly to storage.
8 Criteria for ADS Design and Development Should not increase the cost Should reduce infrastructure complexity Overall operational safety improved Must reduce access to weapons material No new class of nuclear weapons No single national storage site needed Reduce need for strong International oversight -reduce weapons material as much as possible -possible further bonus of complete energy recovery Needs to be seen as major advance Transition from startup should not be characterised by unsafe conditions or any negative aspects
9 Accelerator Driven Sources for Transmutation Basic Idea:- A sub-critical assembly driven critical by the neutrons from spallation induced by a high intensity 1.0 GeV proton beam. It can be used to transmute waste such as Pu and other long-lived actinides or it can be used to generate power or a combination of the two. The process is complicated and involves chemical partitioning as a vital step(s)

16 Outline and motivation One of the most interesting question in nuclear astrophysics is how and where the heavy isotopes were produced. ABUNDANCE BB Fusion H, He C N O Fe Neutron capture How and where are the heavy isotopes produced? MASS NUMBER Nucleosynthesis of the heavy elements by neutron capture processes (s process and r process) Nuclear data needs for s and r process Can one use neutrons from SPIRAL 2 to measure neutron capture cross sections?
17 Overview s and r process p-only s-only r-only s process terminates at 209 Bi r process produces also the heaviest elements like uranium p process produces about 30 isotopes on the proton rich side which cannot be produced by s or r process
18 The r process r-process abundances of old stars match solar abundance pattern at high atomic numbers (Z>55). This implies that there is a unique, very robust r-process mechanism (main component). However, there are discrepancies between data and solar abundance pattern for light elements below Ba. This indicates that there is at least one other component (weak component). from J.J. Cowan and C. Sneden

22 The need for improved Gamma-ray Detectors Ge detectors are the workhorse of γ-ray spectroscopy. -Good energy resolution and reasonable efficiency( mev) They are limited by a) photo-peak eff.--best arrays have 10-20% at 1.3MeV b) Peak to Compton ratio c) Doppler spreading for moving sources due to finite opening angle Radioactive Ion Beams will place new demands on such detectors. a) Greater efficiency- since beams are weak. b) Better peak to background because of radioactivity of beam. c) Higher counting rate capabilities d) Better position resolution for first interaction( θ) important for high velocity beams from fragmentation and for reactions such as (p,γ) where we have no particle coincidences.

33 Conclusions There are strong reasons for us to develop MW beams of charged particles. Some of these applications will mean intense new neutron sources. Among the applications is the production of intense beams of radioactive ions -Nuclear Physics -Nuclear astrophysics These applications will require new detection systems e.g. AGATA- the european gamma ray tracking array
