      abstract     = {Background: Accelerator-driven neutron sources provide a
                      cost-efficient and attractive alternative to present neutron
                      sources like fission reactors and spallation sources. With
                      the advent of high-current proton accelerator systems, a
                      novel class of such neutron facilities emerged termed
                      High-Current Accelerator-driven Neutron Sources (HiCANS)
                      with unique properties and possibilities.Methods: The High
                      Brilliance neutron Source project (HBS) at the
                      Forschungszentrum Jülich develops such a HiCANS facility.
                      It utilizes a 70 MeV and 100 mA pulsed proton linear
                      accelerator providing tailored proton pulses with
                      frequencies of 24 Hz or 96 Hz up to three optimized target
                      stations. These target stations are compact in comparison to
                      spallation neutron sources due to the low energy nuclear
                      reactions releasing neutrons from a high-power tantalum
                      target. It allows for an efficient neutron production,
                      moderation and extraction and, thus allowing competitive
                      neutron instrument performances. Results: A detailed
                      Technical Design Report (TDR) has been published, describing
                      all relevant components from accelerator, target, moderators
                      to instruments. It shows a potential national neutron source
                      facility with up to 24 instruments for all kinds of
                      applications. A target station prototype was built at a 45
                      MeV cyclotron and brought into operation with first neutrons
                      December 2022. Experiments performed demonstrated the
                      accessibility and flexibility of this new type of source,
                      and the expected performance could be evaluated.Conclusion:
                      We will present the current status of the High-Brilliance
                      Neutron Source (HBS) HiCANS project as well as the next
                      steps and milestones for this next generation neutron
                      source.},
