[Neutron] Webinar 25 Sept. on ICONE by Arnaud Desmedt

[Karin Griewatsch]

Dear colleagues,

following a summer break, the neutron webinar series is now heading into 
an exciting autumn and winter season. We are looking forward to 
presentations by Arnaud Desmedt, Dan Neumann, Marc Janoschek, Bastian 
Märkisch, Regine Willumeit-Römer and Thomas Hellweg.

This Friday, you are welcome to the KFN Neutron Webinar by Arnaud 
Desmedt on

*From Flagship Facilities to a Distributed Neutron Ecosystem: ICONE and 
the Emergence of HiCANS in Europe*

*Prof. Dr. Arnaud Desmedt (CEA LLB)*
Friday, *25 September 2026*, 11:00 - 12:00 CET

Neutron scattering in Europe is entering a period of major transition, 
marked by a significant reduction in experimental capacity and the 
emergence of new concepts for neutron facilities aimed at addressing 
this evolving landscape. Maintaining both cutting-edge capabilities and 
sufficient access for a broad scientific, industrial and training 
community require a diversified and resilient neutron landscape.

ICONE (Innovative COmpact NEutron Facility) is the French project for a 
new High-Current Accelerator-driven Neutron Source (HiCANS), jointly 
developed by CEA and CNRS. Based on a 25 MeV, 80 mA proton accelerator, 
ICONE will combine compactness, modularity and high-performance pulsed 
neutron production. Two target stations will provide complementary time 
structures: a High-Flux mode using long pulses and a High-Resolution 
mode based on shorter pulses.

The complete facility will host ten scientific instruments and two 
development lines, distributed between the two experimental halls and 
covering diffraction, small-angle scattering, reflectometry, 
spectroscopy, imaging and neutron activation analysis. This broad 
instrumental suite is designed to provide both advanced capabilities and 
substantial experimental capacity.

The presentation will discuss the scientific and technological concept 
of ICONE and its role, together with other European HiCANS initiatives 
such as HBS and ARGITU, in complementing flagship facilities such as ESS 
and ILL and contributing to a more distributed, flexible and sustainable 
European neutron ecosystem.

The lecture will be recorded, and there is information on data protection at
