, in the next decade. At these intensities proton ener-
gies will be high enough to initiate spallation reactions in high Z solid targets.
Spallation reactions are even more ecient in neutron production than ssion
reactions, making for higher eciency neutron generation. e characteristics
of these neutron sources are an anisotropic neutron ux, a continuous energy
spectrum, and an extremely short pulse width.
By using a combination of ...
