abstract = {The conceptual design of an epithermal and fast neutron
target–moderator–reflector (TMR) unit for the High
BrillianceNeutron Source (HBS) project is presented. A total
of 450 simulations with the Monte Carlo code PHITS were
analyzed to exploredifferent combinations and thicknesses of
pre-moderator and moderator materials. For each case, the
highest epithermal outgoingneutron current at the end of an
extraction channel was obtained. Analysis of the outgoing
current density showed that the neutronspectra are
independent of the proton pulse width, while the integral
outgoing current is proportional to the pulse width,
indicatinga trade-off between the time resolution obtained
and the neutron flux per pulse expected at the sample
position. The neutrontime distribution analysis showed that
D2O as pre-moderator, combined with D2O, 7LiF or graphite as
moderators, will provide acompetitive epithermal neutron
current. The averaged epithermal and fast values obtained
for the 96 Hz station and 167 μs protonpulse width are
9×109 cm−2 s−1 and 2×1010 cm−2 s−1 for the
epithermal and fast neutron extraction channels,
respectively, withreductions expected for short proton
pulses in burst-mode operation.},
