ISIS is large facility for making measurements on condensed matter samples using neutrons, so need lots of neutrons
Three kinds of “traditional” elementary particles:Electrons (in atom, ~electron-volts)Protons (in (hydrogen) atom, ~electron-volts)Neutrons (in nucleus, ~megaelectron-volts)
Many more resources required for producing neutrons than electrons or protons

ISIS is spallation neutron source
— used for studying molecular structure of matter
Two key questions:
•Where are the atoms? (structure)
•How are they connected together? (dynamics)
![Page 6: Introduction ISIS accelerator and target general](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081519/556a1493d8b42af0198b4f3b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Interatomic spacings typically ~few Å (1 Å 0.1 nm)
Need uncharged probe with wavelength ~1 Å
Practical choices: neutrons, X-rays
X-rays: 1 Å 12 keV
Neutrons: 1 Å 0.1 eV
Dynamics: typical energies ~meV
Neutrons have just the right mass to satisfy both requirements simultaneously
Neutrons also sensitive to magnetism, since they carry magnetic moment

Measurements are made on condensed matter samples on ISIS by neutron scattering
Just as an object can be seen by suitably collecting scattered optical photons, so a condensed matter sample can “seen” by suitably collecting scattered neutrons

ISIS is accelerator-driven neutron source
800 MeV protons, 200 µA, 160 kW on tungsten target~2×1016 neutrons/second (mean) from spallation
Uses three cascaded particle accelerators

Particle accelerators:
Accelerate elementary or not so elementary particles (e.g. e–, p, H–, d, heavy ions)
Must be charged particles — neutral particles cannot be acceleratede.g. neutrons, used on ISIS, are produced as secondary particles from primary protons
Particles accelerated by electric field, not magnetic field, but magnetic fields used to guide particles being accelerated
F = qE F = qv×B

Throughout world: >10000 particle accelerators
~50% industrial, ~40% radiotherapy
~100 at ~1 GeV and above
Output energies range between:~100 keV (e.g. ion implanter), and ~10 TeV (CERN LHC (large hadron collider))

Accelerate using electric field
Clearly for 100 keV can use 100 kV DC power supply unit
But can scarcely use 10,000,000,000,000 V DC power supply unit for LHC
Instead, for high energies, use oscillating radio frequency (RF) fields, and pass particles repeatedly through these fields
RF fields produce bunched beams— lots of bundles of charge in a long line

Every accelerator needs a source of particles
Electron accelerators: electron gun(cf. back of TV tube)
Accelerators for other stable particles:ion sources (ionisation, plasma)
Accelerators of unstable particles:subsidiary accelerators
