European Spallation Source
- European Spallation Source
European Spallation Source (ESS) is the name of a proposed research facility for scientific research using neutrons that is planned to be built in Europe. The site-selection process is ongoing and parallel with the process of establish a financial and organizational base for the project. As possible locations are named Debrecen, Hungary; Basque Country (Bilbao), Spain or Lund, Sweden.
The proposed laboratory is designed around a linear accelerator in which protons are accelerated and smashed into a target, preferably mercury. By this process, intensive pulses of neutrons are emitted and lead through beamlines to experimental stations, where research on materials is done as part of the scientific front end in energy, telecommunications, manufacturing, transportation, information technology, biotechnology, and health.
Similar facilities are already under construction in the United States (Spallation Neutron Source, Oak Ridge, Tennessee) and Japan (J-parc, Tokaimura).
