Big Science tools for clean transportation: neutron scattering at ORNL

Green Car Congress

In the case of ORNL’s SNS, the target is mercury. SNS produces neutrons with an accelerator-based system that delivers short (microsecond) proton pulses to a target system (mercury), where neutrons are produced at by the collision of high-energy protons with the Hg target: 695 ns pulse with 60 Hz rep.
