The High Brilliance Neutron Source (HBS) is a High-Current Accelerator-driven Neutron Source (HiCANS) under development at Jülich Centre for Neutron Science - Forschungszentrum Jülich. The unique specifications of the HBS require a neutron target with a high neutron emission able to operate in vacuum with a 70MeV proton beam with 90mA peak current and 1.6% duty cycle leading to an average thermal load of 100kW.
