<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:115%"><span lang="EN-GB">The landscape of French and European neutron scattering is changing. Several older research reactors have already shut down and further closures are scheduled for the current
decade. To overcome these closures, the construction of a new type of neutron source using low-energy, high-current accelerators (HiCANS) is proposed by various institutes across Europe. Among the projects, we can mention

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:115%"><span lang="EN-GB">We aim at developing a moderator for the production of “cold” neutrons. A cryogenic loop for hydrogen liquefaction was recently built at
<a href="https://iramis.cea.fr/llb/en/index.php">the Laboratoire Léon Brillouin (LLB).</a> With the support of other CEA departments (DES/SERMA and DRF/DPhN), Monte-Carlo modelling of neutron transport in the moderator will be carried out to understand the
parameters allowing optimization of the geometry of the moderator (coupling with the neutron production target, pre-moderator, reflector). The existing loop will then be optimized to be integrated into the

<a href="https://elena-neutron.iff.kfa-juelich.de/">ELENA network</a> are envisaged. This platform will make it possible to test new materials and geometries for next-generation cold neutron moderators.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
