Abstract

The Low Energy Neutron Source at Indiana University completed its construction phase roughly three years ago, and one of the more active research thrusts at the facility since that time has been our attempts to advance the state of the art in neutron moderation. This research program includes basic materials characterization, especially total neutron cross section measurements, as well as in-situ testing of the performance of various prototype moderators. This paper reviews a number of the more noteworthy results we have uncovered and describes the goals of the moderator development program at LENS.

Funding

Construction of LENS was supported by the National Science Foundation grants DMR-0220560 and DMR-0320627, the 21st Century Science and Technology fund of Indiana, Indiana University, and the Department of Defense. Operation of LENS is supported by Indiana University, and some of the experiments described in this paper were supported with funds from the US Department of Energy. **J. Leung participated as a student as part of an NSF-sponsored Research Experience for Undergraduates program.
