Abstract

The availability at the INFN Legnaro National Laboratory of two new accelerator systems, the 70 MeV cyclotron of the SPES project and the 5 MeV RFQ developed for the TRASCO project, makes it possible to build a suite of neutron sources for a wide spectrum of different applications. This article focuses on the facility at the SPES cyclotron (NEPIR), which is in an advanced design phase. NEPIR will deliver quasi mono-energetic neutrons for multi-disciplinary applications and a complementary fast (En > 1 MeV) neutron field with a continuous energy (atmospheric-like) spectrum for studying neutron-induced effects on materials, e.g., single event effects in electronics.
