Properties and Possible Applications of Kyoto University Accelerator Based Neutron Source (KUANS)

The results of preliminary experiments of Kyoto University Accelerator based Neutron Source (KUANS) is reported. The Time of Flight spectrum showing clear peak of thermal neutron is presented and neutron flux of 4000 n/cm2s at the 1.24 m from the moderator surface is evaluated. Preliminary results of time-resolved neutron radiography are also presented, which shows 10 minutes-exposure is enough to make clear images. Finally, some applications suitable for KUANS, such as reflectometer are suggested.
