Abstract
The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) is home to the world's leading spallation neutron source ISIS [1]. The ISIS neutron producing target is driven by a 50 Hz, 800 MeV, 200 _A proton beam from a rapid cycling synchrotron, which is fed by a 70 MeV H_ drift tube linac (DTL) which in turn accepts beam from an H_ 665 keV Cockcroft-Walton preinjector. The ever increasing international demand for neutrons has motivated a bid to build a second target station at ISIS, for which £100 million funding has recently been approved by the U.K. government [2]. The second target station, operating at 10 Hz, will provide new scientific opportunities in soft condensed matter, biology and advanced materials.
