Abstract

NEPIR (Neutron and Proton Irradiation facility) is the project of a new irradiation facility at INFN Legnaro National Laboratories (LNL). The facility will exploit the LNL 35-70 MeV high current proton cyclotron of the SPES complex, to feed two different compact neutron sources in order to generate high flux neutron beams with different energy spectra: quasi-monoenergetic neutron beams and atmospheric-like neutrons. This contribution focuses on the first stage of the construction of the facility: the NEPIR Phase 0, financed and in an advanced design phase. It will use a Be neutron production target capable of delivering up to ∼ 2 × 106 n cm−2 s −1.
