abstract = {Long-wavelength neutrons for the investigation of
nano-scale materials are an indispensable tool in
neutronresearch. With the decommissioning of several
European nuclear research reactors in recent times
compactaccelerator-driven neutron sources (CANS) are of
interest in providing scientists with the necessary
capacityof neutrons to conduct experiments.At the High
Brilliance Neutron Source (HBS) project, multiple cold
moderators will be positioned inside thesame
Target-Moderator-Reflector unit (TMR), each providing its
own instrument with cold or even verycold neutrons. All of
these moderators can therefore be optimized in terms of
material, operating temperatureand geometry, depending on
the requirements of the instrument.In a first approach, two
cryogenic moderator systems for a prototype TMR have been
designed and arecurrently being manufactured at
Forschungszentrum Jülich. While one is a closed-cycle
liquid parahydrogensystem, the other one allows the
batch-wise production of solid moderators, e. g. frozen
methane. Bothmoderators are positioned as close to the
target as possible by using so-called moderator plugs (MPs).
Theseconsist of a vacuum-insulated cryostat with a
detachable fluid transfer and moderator section, a
neutronguide and surrounding radiation shielding.The planned
operation of these cryogenic moderator prototypes from
summer 2022 will enable theexperimental investigation of
different cold moderator geometries, as well as various
options for thesurrounding thermal moderator and reflector.
The obtained results can then be used to validate
andcomplement nuclear simulations, proof efficient operation
and will allow more reliable future designs ofsuch cold
neutron sources.},
