A beamline for fundamental neutron physics at TRIUMF
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators …, 2019•Elsevier
This article describes the new primary proton beamline 1U at TRIUMF. The purpose of this
beamline is to produce ultracold neutrons (UCN) for fundamental-physics experiments. It
delivers up to 40 µA of 480 MeV protons from the TRIUMF cyclotron to a tungsten spallation
target and uses a fast kicker to share the beam between the Center for Molecular and
Materials Science and UCN. The beamline has been successfully commissioned and
operated with a beam current up to 10 µA, facilitating first large-scale UCN production in …

Abstract
This article describes the new primary proton beamline 1U at TRIUMF. The purpose of this beamline is to produce ultracold neutrons (UCN) for fundamental-physics experiments. It delivers up to 40 µA of 480 MeV protons from the TRIUMF cyclotron to a tungsten spallation target and uses a fast kicker to share the beam between the Center for Molecular and Materials Science and UCN. The beamline has been successfully commissioned and operated with a beam current up to 10 µA, facilitating first large-scale UCN production in Canada.
