abstract = {In the framework of the development of the HBS HiCANS
project in Jülich, the World's first 1-dimensional
cryogenic moderator based on liquid para-hydrogen has been
designed, constructed and tested. Para-hydrogen is a special
form of hydrogen as the mean free paths for thermal and cold
neutrons differ by about 1 order of magnitude. This makes it
possible to develop a 1-dimensional cold moderator where the
extraction happens along the extended dimension while the
feeding with thermal neutrons is done along the other two
dimensions, which are small in comparison.The moderator
cryostat was designed such that the hydrogen volume is
completely enclosed and where hydrogen serves as coolant as
well as moderator material. The heat is removed by a
closed-cycle cryocooler outside the target-moderator
shielding and the hydrogen is circulated by a pump for
cryogenic fluids. This system has been built to fit into a
beamport plug of the JULIC Neutron Platform, the technology
demonstrator of the HBS project in Jülich. The system
successfully was brought into operation and we measured the
neutron spectrum emitted from this cold source. Finally, the
measurements and simulations of the neutron moderation were
compared to assess the reliability of the simulation tools
to be able to describe future moderator setups properly.},
