An experiment aiming at the simultaneous determination of both transversal polarization components of electrons emitted in the decay of free neutrons begins data taking using the polarized cold neutron beam (FUNSPIN) from the Swiss Neutron Spallation Source (SINQ) at the Paul-Scherrer Institute, Villigen.
00 Papers from a September 2004 symposium report on research stimulated by two main problems: plasma heating in thermonuclear setups by means of powerful beams of neutral particles, and the creation of a spallation source based on high-power accelerators.
The beam produced at the facility is expected to be 10 times the intensity of the present top-of-the-line spallation source, located near Oxford, England.
