Abstract
Neutron sources are increasingly used in physics laboratories and also have potential applications to accelerator-driven systems (ADS). Improving yields is the key; this entails improving the density of the neutron flux and compactness of the neutron source. Under the auspices of the EU-FP7 project TIARA, “Test Infrastructure and Accelerator Research Area”, efforts are currently underway at CERN to design a small compact transportable neutron source with a dense neutron field that could be installed in many facilities and laboratories around the world.
