The Route Forward for Europe:The European Spallation Source (ESS)!

摘要

Early this year the neutron scattering community was presentedwith the promise of a new neutronsource with performances far beyondour wildest dreams: three orders ofmagnitude increase in thermal sourceflux before 2040 The ideas for thenew source, triggered by recent devel-opments in laser technology in thefield of inertial fusion, have been pub-lished in Science by one of the world'sleading centers for neutron scattering.(See Andrew Taylor et al., "A Route tothe Brightest Possible NeutronSource" Science, Vol. 315, 23 February,2007, pages 1092-1095.)
