LENS Construction Timeline Construction on the LENS facility began officially in Feb. 2004. Some of the major highlights from the first year of construction are depicted here. |
 |
How LENS Works LENS produces neutrons using (p,n) reactions in Be and these are then slowed down in a water reflector and cryogenic methane moderator. Click here for more details. |
 |
Recent Results Emission time distributions at LENS were first measured in March of 2006. |
 |
First Neutrons Neutrons were first produced at LENS on 15 Dec. 2004. |
 |
Cold Neutrons Cold neutrons were first produced at LENS on 14 April 2005 |
 |
Chemistry Lab A well-equipped 1000 sq ft. Chemistry lab is located immediately adjacent to the LENS instrument hall for easy access by users. |
 |
Klystron Two 1-MW RF klystrons were first used to produce neutrons at LENS in Dec. 2006. These greatly increase the amount of RF power available to the accelerator, thereby providing greater peak currents and longer neutron pulse widths. |
