      abstract     = {The High-Brilliance neutron Source (HBS) project [1]
                      develops a High-Current Accelerator-driven Neutron Source
                      (HiCANS) with a pulsed proton beam, a peak current of 100 mA
                      and an average power at the target of 100 kW. The concept of
                      such a HiCANS was published some years ago [2] indicating
                      the feasibility of such a facility with all of its
                      components: high-current accelerator, target station with
                      integrated moderator-reflector assemblies and neutron
                      instruments. All components require engineering development
                      and testing. The JULIC Neutron Platform was thus developed
                      as a testbed for all components and the investigation of
                      their interplay.The JULIC Neutron Platform uses a cyclotron
                      providing a tunable pulsed proton beam with a low current
                      but a variable frequency and pulse length to a spacious
                      experimental area. A target station shielding is placed in
                      its center with an empty inner core of 1 m3, able to
                      accommodate different moderator-reflector assemblies as well
                      as cryogenic moderators. The target station uses a tantalum
                      target for the conversion of protons to neutrons and has
                      eight spacious flexible ducts where moderator plugs for
                      neutron extraction or blind plugs are placed.First beam on
                      target was achieved in December 2022 with three instruments
                      in operation: reflectometer, diffractometer and detector
                      test stand. Further beamtime in 2023 is planned in order to
                      investigate different cryogenic moderators, to estimate the
                      performance of such a HiCANS and to perform further
                      experiments.At UCANS, we will present the JULIC Neutron
                      Platform, the experiments performed and the possibilities it
                      offers.[1] P. Zakalek, et al, J. Phys.: Conf. Ser., 1401,
