Abstract

The project of a pulsed spallation neutron source driven by a 1.32-GeV proton beam accelerated in the existing rapid cycling proton synchrotron U-1.5 at the National Research Centre “Kurchatov Institute” (NRC KI)–Institute for High Energy Physics (IHEP) is presented. This option would constitute a short-term cost-effective diversification of applied research capabilities of the U-1.5 machine (orbit length 99 m), the facility otherwise employed as a ring injector (booster) into the subsequent larger proton synchrotron U-70 (1.487 km). The source will be used primarily for neutron time-of-flight research techniques.
