The submitted proposal is based on the elaborate Technical Design Report as published in 2023, building the HBS-I on the technical and scientific possibilities of a high current accelerator neutron source (HiCANS). The HBS-I will offer small angle scattering, diffraction, reflectometry, imaging and elemental analysis, thus serving the grand challenges in areas of life science and energy research. Easy access, a rolling proposal system and small, brilliant neutron beams with diameters of ~1 mm will enable cutting-edge research and in-situ experiments.<\/p>\n<p>The instruments will be fed by a high-current proton accelerator system with 100 mA proton current and 20 MeV energy, while the moderation of neutrons is handled in an instrument-specific manner minimizing downtimes and easy replacement of components.<\/p>\n<p>The project will provide pulsed neutrons with a performance similar to modern neutron user facilities. The HBS developments at JCNS are leading within the framework of HiCANS sources worldwide. The HBS-I would be the first HiCANS neutron facility in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"418\" src=\"https:\/\/hbs.fz-juelich.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HBS-Phase-I_sketch-1-1024x418.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-827\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iff1925.iff.fz-juelich.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HBS-Phase-I_sketch-1-1024x418.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/iff1925.iff.fz-juelich.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HBS-Phase-I_sketch-1-300x123.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iff1925.iff.fz-juelich.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HBS-Phase-I_sketch-1-768x314.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iff1925.iff.fz-juelich.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HBS-Phase-I_sketch-1-1536x628.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/iff1925.iff.fz-juelich.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HBS-Phase-I_sketch-1.jpg 1826w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In view of the immense lack of neutrons for science and industry, the two Helmholtz Centres Forschungszentrum J\u00fclich and Hereon have jointly submitted a proposal to the German Federal Ministry&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":824,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-822","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iff1925.iff.fz-juelich.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/822","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iff1925.iff.fz-juelich.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iff1925.iff.fz-juelich.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iff1925.iff.fz-juelich.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iff1925.iff.fz-juelich.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=822"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/iff1925.iff.fz-juelich.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/822\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":843,"href":"https:\/\/iff1925.iff.fz-juelich.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/822\/revisions\/843"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iff1925.iff.fz-juelich.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/824"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iff1925.iff.fz-juelich.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=822"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iff1925.iff.fz-juelich.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=822"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iff1925.iff.fz-juelich.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=822"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
