abstract = {Research with neutrons is usually related to the use of
fission-based research reactors or neutron spallation
sources to offer neutron beams for science and industry. In
recent years a novel way for the production of brilliant
cold, thermal, and epithermal neutron beams has emerged with
the availability of high current proton accelerator systems.
These “High-Current Accelerator-driven Neutron Sources”
(HiCANS) offer pulsed neutron beams with high peak
brilliance close to present day neutron sources.A project
was launched at the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science for
the development, design and demonstration of such an
innovative highcurrent accelerator driven neutron source
termed “High-Brilliance neutron Source” (HBS). The aim
of the project is to construct a scalableneutron source as a
user facility. The basic technical components consist of i)
a high current proton accelerator with a proton energy below
100 MeV, ii) a compact neutron target, moderator and
reflector unit and iii) a neutron extracting, and transport
system optimized for neutron beams with high brilliance to
serve a suite of high performing instruments with
epithermal, thermal and cold neutrons for various
applications.The HBS project will offer open access and
services to the various and changing demands the scientific
and also the industrial communityasks for. The project
offers flexible solutions to a broadest scale of
applications in science and industry. The conceptual design
of HBS aswell as the technical design was published recently
in a series of reports as blueprint of a HiCANS facility.
HBS will complement anddevelop further the landscape of
high-end neutron facilities in Europe. In addition, HBS will
allow intense training and preparation forexperiments at the
highest level at flagship European neutron sources such as
the ILL or, in the future, at the ESS.},
