The JULIC Neutron Platform was set up at the COSY facility in Jülich as a testbed for the HBS project. Its center is a target station prototype using a tantalum target and a 45 MeV proton beam with a maximum beam power of a few watts. Eight extraction ducts allow the extraction of neutron beams in the fast, epithermal, thermal and cold energy range from the moderator-reflector assembly. Reflectometry and diffractometry measurements, fast and thermal neutron imaging, detector tests and moderator/reflector tests were performed at the JULIC Neutron Platform to show technological feasibility of HBS components and concepts.
