Funding: This work has been supported through KOMAC operation fund of KAERI and the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) grant funded by the Korea government (MSIT) (No. 2021R1C1C1007100). At the Korea Multi-purpose Accelerator Complex (KOMAC) of Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI), we are studying an accelerator-driven neutron source for the production of white neutron beams that resemble the atmospheric radiations on the earth. In the concept of the neutron source, high-energy neutrons are generated by using a 200-MeV proton beam on a heavy-metal target in a target station, which is consisted of a target, moderator, reflector, and biological shields, and a part of the high-energy neutrons are guided in a forward direction to make neutron beams with the atmospheric-like energy spectrum. The conceptual design has 6 more thermal-neutron beamlines at the separation of 30 degrees for the fundamental research on neutron science. Here, we present the concepts of the target station and basic parameters regarding the neutron source. |
