  • The SNS LINAC is the most powerful proton-pulsed accelerator in the world. Stretching the length of nearly three football fields, the LINAC is responsible for focusing and propelling protons to roughly 90 percent the speed of light just before they smash into a liquid mercury target, releasing about 25 neutrons for every proton to be used for scientific discovery.

  • Although the neutron is a senior citizen of sorts, whose existence was predicted in 1920 and confirmed in 1932, it’s still not fully understood. Both Snell’s and Robson’s time ranges for neutron half-life span the currently estimated value, somewhere around 10.2 minutes, but the hunt continues. ORNL—through the Spallation Neutron Source's Fundamental Physics Beam Line—is one of more than a dozen institutions around the world working to pin down this elusive number.
