Abstract: With the construction of the ESS, the European neutron user community is looking forward to the brightest neutron source worldwide. At the same time there is an ongoing concentration of neutron science to only a few neutron facilities. These bright lighthouses serve the needs of a limited amount of experienced researchers, but the smaller or medium flux sources used for method development, user recruitment, education or proof-of-principle experiments seem to vanish.Responding to this situation the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science has started a project to develop and design compact accelerator driven high-brilliance neutron sources as an efficient and cost effective alternative to current low- and medium-flux reactor and spallation sources. Such compact sources have the potential to offer access of science and industry to neutrons as local national or regional medium-flux, but high-brilliance neutron facilities. The project aims to deliver a “High-Brilliance Neutron Source (HBS)”, where a compact neutron production and moderator system provide thermal and cold neutrons with high brilliance efficiently extracted in an optimized neutron transport system. With shaping the experiment from the source to the detector a holistic neutron experiment could be set-up for the specific scientific requirements in a flexible and efficient way for the neutron user. We will present a brief outline of the project and status of achieved milestones.
