Accelerators for Neutrons

Synopsis
Video recording of a lecture given by Dr David Findlay, head of the ISIS Accelerator Division, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, at Oxford University, on14th February 2013.

Accelerators are used to produce neutrons for many different purposes including science, technology, energy, security, and medicine. The talk describes the challenges of accelerator production of neutrons, particularly for the FAFNIR project, a practical source of 14-MeV-like neutrons for assessing radiation damage effects in materials for fusion power, and for upgrades to ISIS, which is currently the world’s leading spallation neutron source in terms of science output.
