Notice Information

Notice Title

UKRI-3937 ISIS Linear Accelerator

Notice Description

ISIS, sited at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL), is the world's most productive pulsed neutron source. Intense bursts of neutrons are produced at 20mS intervals when a heavy metal target is bombarded by a high-energy (800 MeV) proton beam from a synchrotron accelerator releasing neutrons by the process of spallation. This is for a contract for a replacement for the Accelerator system which uses a thermionic triode valve (tube) amplifier which is coming to the end of its production life. This is required to ensure continued operation of the facility.
