banner operations.jpg

The spallation sources operation group operates presently the world's highest continous flux accelerator-based neutron source SINQ and the world's most intense large scale ultra-cold neutron source UCN.

Our goal is to produce maximum neutron flux to our users with minimum radiation dose to people.
