Abstract

The CPHS project that was launched in September 2009 at Tsinghua University has reached a first commissioning stage in conjunction with ongoing activities to fulfil the eventual design goal of a ∼1013 n/s epithermal-to-cold neutron yield for education, instrumentation development, and industrial applications. The latest progress on the commissioning and applications of 3-MeV proton and neutron beam lines, and the design, fabrication, engineering of the 13MeV/16kW proton accelerator system and the solid methane moderator system will be reported. Two prototypes of neutron detectors, based on micro-channel plate and the boron-coated straw tube design, were under evaluation and development. The research progress on neutron optics and instrumentation will also be presented.
