Abstract

Recent developments in accelerator technology enable high current proton or deuteron beams production up to several milliamps, providing attractive sources for high neutron yield production. Be(p,n), Be(d,n) and ²³⁸U(X,n) reactions are discussed to produce high energy and thermal neutron yields. A 140 MeV, 2.5 mA extracted beam cyclotron is also proposed to feed a spallation neutron source, generating thermal neutron fluxes similar in intensity to those produced by nuclear reactors.
