En. Efficient PDriver‘ 16 the energy problem – a range of opinions technology enthusiast: fast reactors, fusion etc. ; optimism about technologies green enthusiast: sun and wind offer plenty of energy, no nuclear, no fossil, skepticism on tech contemplative: technological development is too fast, consequences not predictable, go slower!

Some neutron flux numbers for SINQ • Inside the cold D 2 moderator 3. 4 1013 n/cm 2/s/m. A • Neutron Guide Entrance (towards Neutronenleiterhalle) 6. 0 -8. 0 10 10 n/cm 2/s/m. A • End of Guides 5. 0 108 n/cm 2/s/m. A • On sample (at 3 Å) ~105 -106 n/cm 2/s/m. A Detector Proton Target Page 8
Conclusion Accelerator Target Moderator Guides Shielding Instruments • A separate optimization of the different integral parts of a spallation neutron source is inefficient. • All integral parts – starting from the proton beam distribution down to the neutron instrument - have to be seen as a chain of components and should be optimized accordingly. • A large number of neutrons is «lost» due to the isotropicity of moderation directional moderators • Neutron instrument setup currently tend to remove a large portion of neutrons due to chopper etc. systems. Could one use those «unwanted» neutrons? Instrument design. Page 9

In-Target Production Yield Example with 132 Sn § Studies of neutron-rich nuclei beyond the doubly magic 132 Sn are of key importance to investigate the single particle structure above the N=82 shell closure and find out how the effective interaction between valence nucleons behaves far from stability TRIUMFISAC CERNISOLDE IBS-RISP LNL-SPES EURISOL ARIEL FRIB p p p e- U Energy [Me.

Motivations for ‘Figures of Merit’ • End-to-end simulations of accelerator driven facilities highly sophisticated & complex – – Computationally expensive – e. g. genetic algorithm ‘Black box’ type output Can be difficult to identify ‘design guidelines’ ‘Listen to the robot’ for the answer • Useful to have a tool that (ref R. Zwaska) : – Can factorise problems – orthogonal to genetic algorithm – Is readily understood – Can apply to a distribution • Also useful to have a tool to compare reliability (materials or engineering issues) Chris Densham
