IPNS ACCELERATOR OVERVIEW
• Accelerator delivers a short (70 ns) intense
(3 x 1012 protons/pulse) pulse of 450 MeV protons to the depleted-uranium target 30 times per second
• Each proton produces about 15 neutrons
• IPNS is a user facility. Sole purpose of the accelerator is to produce neutrons (99% for the neutron-scattering instruments in Bldg. 375, remainder for an “exotic-beam” source for ATLAS)
