SNS is part of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which is managed by UT-Battelle for the United States Department of Energy (DOE). SNS is a DOE Office of Science user facility, [2] and it is open to scientists and researchers from all over the world. Aerial view of the Spallation Neutron Source building
ORNL has several of the world's top supercomputers, including Frontier, ranked by the TOP500 as the world's most powerful. The lab is a leading neutron and nuclear power research facility that includes the Spallation Neutron Source, the High Flux Isotope Reactor, and the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences.
Neutron science, using the Spallation Neutron Source, and the recently upgraded High Flux Isotope Reactor. Synthesis science, also called “science-driven synthesis,” facilitated by extensive and novel synthesis capabilities in the CNMS' first five scientific themes (described below) and by a new nanofabrication research laboratory.
The neutron source usually is a research reactor or a spallation source. In some cases, a smaller facility will provide high energy neutrons (e.g. 2.5 MeV or 14 MeV fusion neutrons ) using existing neutron generator technologies.
Prior to this appointment, he had been an executive at Battelle Memorial Institute from 2017 to 2018, and the director of Oak Ridge National Laboratory from 2007 to 2017. [2] Mason moved to Oak Ridge in 1998 at the start of construction of the Spallation Neutron Source [3] which he led from 2001 until project completion in 2006.
Spallation Neutron Source: Oak Ridge National Laboratory: 2006–Present Linear (335 m) and Circular (248 m) Protons 800 MeV – 1 GeV Produces the most intense pulsed neutron beams in the world for scientific research and industrial development. INSPIRE: J-PARC RCS Tōkai, Ibaraki: 2007–Present Triangular, 348m circumference Protons 3 GeV
His move to Tennessee arose from the presence at ORNL of world-class supercomputing capabilities, [3] and the Spallation Neutron Source, as the combination of neutron scattering with computer simulation has been a sustained interest of his. In 2008, Smith was appointed Honorarprofessor (i.e., honorary professor) at the University of Heidelberg.
The super-computing facilities are made available to the users to perform high intensity calculations. As of November 2019, four of the top ten super computers worldwide were hosted by a national user facility [2] (Summit, Sierra, Trinity and Lassen.)
