Abstract

The First Moderator-Target Planning Meeting for the Chinese Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) Project took place from April 21–26, 2002, at The Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China. The idea of a Chinese Spallation Neutron Source for basic research germinated after a delegation led by Professor Yong-Xiang Lu, the President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), visited the ISIS facility in July 2000. Subsequently, in 200 I, CAS and other organizations of scientific branches sponsored three meetings, which resulted in the submission of a proposal for a feasibility study of CSNS. The proposal was granted on the eve of 2002, hence began Phase I of the CSNS Project, charging the Institute of Physics (IoP) and Institute of High Energy Physics (IoHEP), both belonging to CAS, to complete a full design and feasibility study by 2003.
