      abstract     = {In an effort to close the neutron gap in Canada a
                      prototype, compact accelerator-based neutronsource for
                      Canada (PC-CANS) is proposed for installation at the
                      University of Windsor. The PCCANS is envisaged to serve two
                      neutron science instruments, a boron neutron capture
                      therapy(BNCT) station and a beamline for fluorine-18
                      radioisotope production for positive emission tomography.To
                      serve these diverse applications of neutron beams, a linear
                      accelerator solution isselected, that will provide 10 MeV
                      protons with a peak current of 10 mA within a $5\%$ duty
                      cycle. Theaccelerator is based on an RFQ and DTL with a
                      post-DTL pulsed kicker system to simultaneouslydeliver
                      macro-pulses to each end-station. The neutron production
                      targets for both neutron scienceand BNCT will be of
                      Beryllium and engineered to handle the high beam power
                      density. A stagedapproach is foreseen for ramping the power.
                      Conceptual studies of both the accelerator and
                      thetarget-moderator-reflector (TMR) will be presented.},
