Description
Many reactor-based neutron sources are planned to shut down in the near future, and this is despite the increasing demand for neutron beamlines for a wide range of scientific and industrial applications. Consequently, compact accelerator-based neutron sources arise as a competitive alternative that could meet the need for medium-flux fission or spallation sources. In this work, we explore the performance of compact electron accelerators as neutron drivers and propose a preliminary target design for an X-band electron-linac-based neutron source.
