Abstract

The Lujan Neutron Scattering Center (Lujan Center) uses the 800-MeV proton beam from the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) to produce low-energy neutrons for basic and applied research using neutrons. A unique split target and flux-trap moderator system together with a proton storage ring yields a higher peak neutron flux than any other spallation source currently available. As a national user facility, the Lujan Center provides instrumentation and support for researchers to study materials science and engineering, condensed-matter physics, polymer science, chemistry, earth sciences, structural biology, and nuclear-science research. During the 2002 run cycle, Lujan Center hosted over 150 user visits from academia, industry, national laboratories, and other research facilities around the world.
