ESS hosted the 12th NEUtron WAVElength Dependent Imaging (NEUWAVE) meeting in Lund from 1–5 September. This workshop series has significantly advanced neutron imaging, introducing new methods and contrast modalities. As a result, neutron imaging now goes beyond attenuation, incorporating contrast modalities typically associated with scattering techniques, such as diffraction, small-angle scattering, and inelastic scattering contrasts. Gathering 55 leading experts, the workshop fostered active discussions, starting with a walking discussion on Sunday in Ven under Skåne’s sunny skies. NEUWAVE has been crucial in designing new imaging instruments at pulsed neutron sources, including IMAT at ISIS, RADEN at J-PARC, and VENUS at SNS. In 2013, ESS hosted NEUWAVE-5 at Medicon Village, coinciding with ODIN's acceptance as one of the first instrument proposals. This year’s workshop, held at AF Borgen on Monday and Tuesday, continued on Wednesday at ESS, where participants toured the target area and instruments, focusing on ODIN. The event concluded on Thursday with a hands-on software workshop at LINXS, focusing on the ncrystal software. This tool is set to advance quantitative neutron imaging by predicting and interpreting wavelength-resolved neutron transmission spectra, opening new applications in energy research, engineering materials, and life sciences. After the site tour, experts discussed how ESS neutrons can drive innovation in various fields using advanced imaging techniques. The next NEUWAVE workshop will be held in October 2025 in Gatlinburg, TN, hosted by Oak Ridge National Laboratory. #NeutronImaging #ESS #NEUWAVE #ScientificInnovation #NeutronScience #AdvancedImaging #ResearchAndDevelopment #Collaboration #EnergyResearch #LifeSciences #MaterialsEngineering #ODIN #NCrystal #ScientificWorkshop

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.

ESS has successfully installed the first Insertable Beam Stop in the superconducting linac, a critical step for ensuring the safe operation and commissioning of the accelerator. This achievement, realized through extensive cross-sectional collaboration, marks a significant step forward on the #ESSRoadToScience, and particularly on our quest to put beam through the entire tunnel early 2025. #Accelerator #Linac #BeamOnDump #BeamOnTarget #teamwork #achievements Read more: https://lnkd.in/d9mFV7hD

At the third ESS Innovation Day, hosted by Tetra Pak in Lund, industry and academia came together to explore future research opportunities using neutrons at ESS. With a focus on collaboration and sustainable innovation, discussions are now underway for a pilot partnership model between ESS, academia and industry. We're anticipating industry to be among the first users when we launch First Science!

Last Saturday, ESS hosted its first-ever Family & Friends event, with more than 1,000 visitors joining us for a day full of learning, engaging activities, and fun. The day also featured a unique tour of the ESS accelerator tunnel—a truly special experience, as this rare opportunity to see the linac up close will soon be gone when the tunnel closes for operations. Our dedicated ESS volunteers played a crucial role in making this event possible, proudly sharing our passion for science and showcasing our unique workplace. It was a fantastic opportunity to show our loved ones why we’re all here—for the neutrons! ⚛ #ESS #Neutrons #Community #Friends #Family #PassionForScience

On 20 August, the Director Generals of all five Nordic authorities for nuclear and radiation safety visited ESS to observe the progress made in recent years. This yearly meeting, hosted this year by The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority Strålsäkerhetsmyndigheten (SSM) and led by DG Michael Knochenhauer, rotates between the Nordic countries and often includes a site visit to a place of common interest, such as ESS. 🇸🇪 🇳🇴 🇫🇮 🇩🇰 🇮🇸 Swedish SSM is responsible for issuing licences to operate ESS, a process carried out in stages. Most recently, ESS received a permit for trial operations of the superconducting linac. This approval allows us to proceed with preparations for the commissioning of the entire linac and the subsequent proton acceleration to the tuning beam dump at the end of the 600-metre-long accelerator tunnel. #RadiationSafety #NordicCooperation #ESS #RoadToScience

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.
