                      Brilliance Neutron Source (HBS) project at Forschungszentrum
                      Jülich on the use of ethane as a neutron moderator
                      material. The aim of the study was to conduct a detailed
                      investigation on the behaviour of ethane as a cold moderator
                      for neutrons and assess its performance at different
                      cryogenic temperatures. The experimental measurements were
                      carried out at temperatures of 170 K, 135 K, 100 K, 70 K, 50
                      K, 25 K, 15 K, and 10 K. The experimental data obtained from
                      the measurements were then analysed and compared with
                      simulation results using the PHITS (Particle and Heavy Ion
                      Transport code System) code. A special phase analysis
                      focusing on ethane's metastable phase was thoroughly
                      analyzed and discussed which allowed for a comprehensive
                      evaluation of the moderator's behaviour and its suitability
                      for neutron moderation. The results showed that ethane
                      exhibited notable changes in its response as the temperature
                      changes. The findings from this study will contribute to the
                      development of advanced neutron compact moderators and
                      provide valuable information for optimizing neutron-based
                      experiments and research facilities.},
