CSNS is a large-scale scientific facility for multi-disciplinary research, build during the country’s
12th Five-Year Plan period. On August 23,2018, CSNS was officially announced completed after six and a half years’ construction, making it the first national large-scale scientific facility in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The facility was completed with high quality, and the comprehensive performance has reached the international advanced standard. Now it is officially
opened to both home and oversea users.As the first pulsed neutron source in China,CSNS aims to provide a powerful platform for both fundamental scientific research and high-tech development in many application fields such as material science, life science, resource environment, new energy, etc. It will also provide strong supports to the construction of the International Science and Technology Innovation Center in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, which is of great significance to meeting the country’s strategic needs. CSNS has made a series of significant innovative technology achievements in accelerators, target station and instruments, which has greatly enhanced the country’s experience and innovation capacity in related industrial technology, especially in fields like magnets, power supplies, neutron detectors and electronics. CSNS has also pushed forward research into high-intensity proton accelerators and neutron scattering in China.
