SCIENTIFIC PROSPECTS FOR THE EUROPEAN SPALLATION SOURCE

Through a series of European Science Foundation-supported meetings and discussions within the community, the scientific potential of a next- generation pulsed spallation source that will deliver the beam power 3 0 times of ISIS has been explored. The resulting scientific case shows that major new opportunities for the exploitation of neutron studies in fundamental, strategic, and applied science will be opened up in bi ology, chemistry, earth sciences, engineering, materials science and p hysics.
