External Moderation of Reactor Core Neutrons for Optimized Production of Ultra-Cold Neutrons

External Moderation of Reactor Core Neutrons for Optimized Production of Ultra-Cold Neutrons

The ultra-cold neutron (UCN) source being commissioned at North Carolina State University’s PULSTAR reactor is uniquely optimized for UCN production in the former graphite-filled thermal column outside of the reactor pool. The source utilizes a remote moderation design, which is particularly well su...
