Abstract

SINQ is a continuous spallation-neutron source which is planned to be attached to the existing proton cyclotron at the Swiss Institute for Nuclear Research (SIN) after its upgrading to higher currents. The neutron-flux characteristics will be similar to those of a medium-flux reactor, but particular advantages are expected in the cold neutron region. Construction is planned to start in 1987 and to be completed in late 1989. The total costs appear to be unusually low. The present report describes the general concept and the expected performance of SINQ.
