ESS in a nutshell - A powerful accelerator propels protons to nearly the speed of light, smashing them into a massive metal target. This collision releases neutrons, which are then directed to scientific instruments to examine materials down to the atomic level.

A collaboration of European nations to build the world's most powerful neutron source advancing science for generations.
Om oss
The European Spallation Source, or ESS, is state-of-the-art science facility being built in Lund, Sweden by a collaboration of 13 European nations. Almost like a giant microscope, ESS will allow scientists to use neutrons to look deep inside materia to see where the atoms are and what they are doing. This can help them design new materials which could lead to better batteries, greener plastics or stronger engineering materials. Or, it could help life science researchers develop new vaccines or more effective medicines. ESS is one of the largest science and technology infrastructure projects being built today. The facility design and construction includes the most powerful linear proton accelerator ever built, a 4-tonne, helium-cooled tungsten target wheel, 15 state-of-the-art neutron instruments, a suite of laboratories, and a supercomputing data management and software development centre. In the context of its history and future as a scientific organisation, however, it is more than the sum of its parts. It is a brand new organisation, being built from the ground up. Our aim is to advance science so that future generations can thrive. #ChangeTheWorld.

At ESS, we will have one of the world’s most powerful accelerators, designed to break free neutrons from a spallation target. One of the key components in our linear accelerator is the magnets. Lots of strong magnets are needed to guide, focus and steer the beam of protons on its journey towards the target. To date, we have installed and tested 80% of the magnets required in the 600-metre-long accelerator tunnel, bringing us closer to the goal of #BeamOnTarget and subsequent #NeutronProduction.
