Abstract: With very few large-scale facilities left to serve a leading community of about 5000 European neutron usersin the 2030s, the European neutron ecosystem will become extremely vulnerable and capacity-limited. Neutronresearch in Europe risks losing its strength and diversity if limited access to neutron beam time makes itextremely difficult to maintain a sustainable research program based on the use of neutrons.High Current Accelerator driven Neutron Sources (HiCANS) are a completely new type of neutron researchfacility based on an innovative concept. They have the potential to rejuvenate the European neutron ecosystemand provide complementary capabilities. The High Brilliance Neutron Source (HBS) project is a highlyambitious HiCANS project characterized by cost efficiency, sustainability, reliability, resilience, easy accessand flexibility.We present the concept of the HBS, discuss the physical and technical solutions for challenging componentssuch as the high-power target, report on simulations and experimental verifications, and prototyping for allmajor components of the facility. The HBS features a complete set of instruments for diffraction, large-scalestructural research, inelastic scattering, and high-resolution spectroscopy, imaging, and neutron analyticswith highly competitive instrument performance. The Technical Design Report (TDR) provides a blueprintfor construction of the facility.This work is part of the collaboration within ELENA and LENS on the development of HiCANS.
