ESS-BILBAO TAKES THE LEAD IN INTERNATIONAL R&D ACTIVITY IN THE DESIGN REVIEW
OF THE EUROPEAN SPALLATION SOURCE



The “ESS-Bilbao Initiative Workshop - Multi-MW Spallation Neutron Sources:
Current Challenges and Future Prospects” held in Bilbao on 16-19 March
succeeded in bringing together 160 worldwide experts on high-power proton
accelerators, beam dynamics and spallation targets. During the workshop,
several discussion groups reviewed the challenges faced in different
programmes with relevance to high power spallation neutron sources and
suggested a base design for R&D projects in order to attain reliable ESS
design parameters. The recommendations from the expert groups endorse the
current efforts of the ESS-Bilbao team to make the 2003 ESS baseline
compatible with the latest developments within the field of high power
proton accelerators. The current activities at ESS-Bilbao include
prototyping the newly-designed superconducting cavities, a novel high-power
target design and detailed accelerator beam dynamics studies. For a brief
description of the ESS-Bilbao concept as well as the electromagnetic design
studies for the double and triple-spoke resonators see: *
