abstract = {Low Energy accelerator-driven Neutron Facilities have the
potential to become competitive to research reactors and
spallation sources to generate neutron beams for scattering
experiments. A low energy accelerator-driven neutron
facility is developed at the Jülich Centre for Neutron
Science. This source is expected to provide thermal and cold
neutrons with high brilliance and is therefore called
“High Brilliance neutron Source” (HBS). In this work, we
study the performance of neutron guide systems at HBS by
using neutron ray-tracing simulations. Elliptical and
ballistic guides with elliptic diverging/converging section
have been used in simulations for various moderator-to-guide
distances and guide entrance cross-sections. Results show
that the beam properties have a strong dependence on the
distance between guide entry and moderator. We demonstrate
that the ballistic guide system can achieve a comparable
neutron flux and brilliance transfer as the true elliptical
guide for thermal neutrons if a proper distance between
guide entrance and moderator is chosen. For low-divergence
cold neutrons, the selected ballistic guide is showing even
better performance than the elliptical one},
