5th Joint Workshop of RIKEN RAP and JCNS

The Japanese RIKEN Center for Advanced Photonics (RAP) and the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science (JCNS) held their fifth joint workshop on compact accelerator-driven neutron sources (CANS) on 9 – 10 June, 2021 as a special webinar due to the current travel restrictions world-wide.

The workshop tackled common research topics regarding the development of target, moderator and instrument systems for CANS at both institutes.
