    SNS upgrade accelerates neutron research, boosts data quality

    Performing neutron experiments at the Spallation Neutron Source delivers even better data in less time, now that the SNS linear accelerator, or linac, is well along the path to 2.8 megawatts – double its original proton power level. The additional power is thanks to the Proton Power Upgrade project, which has paved the way for constructing the planned Second Target Station, and is already helping accelerate the pace of scientific discovery across a wide range of materials and technologies at the First Target Station.
