Hi Alan,
Accelerator-driven neutron sources are a lot cheaper than spallation
sources. Moreover, Figure 54 in the ICONE document shows that the
scientific productivity of neutron sources does not depend on the flux
of the source. And the biggest point might be the return to building new
neutron facilities.
Thank you, Armel, for sharing this document!
Best regards,
Yaroslav

Glad you are following neutron developments Armel. This document
points out how French science has suffered due to the shutdown of the
only national neutron sources, in Grenoble and Paris. It argues that
ESS when it is finally operational, cannot possibly satisfy the
national requirement if ILL is also shut down. Hopefully that won't
happen any time soon, given the apparent renaissance of interest in
nuclear due to the current energy crisis, and the neglect of science
by governments for most of my 50 year life in France. It is however
slightly worrying that instrument performance on a possible HICANS
accelerator source is projected to be inferior to instruments on
Orphée. That seems too pessimistic given the performance of ISIS in
the UK.
But perhaps you were trying to use this document to make some other
point :-) ?
Alan

Interesting document about neutrons in French, though the word
"Rietveld"
appears only once, page 162, the word "poudre" (=powder) is more
frequent :
