KENS-II, its History from Design to Removal

Article Preview

Abstract:

KENS-II is the second generation of the spallation neutron source at KEK which was operated from December 1, 2000 to March 22, 2006 supplying neutron beam to the neutron spectrometers of material science. The present paper reviews history of the KENS-II from its design to removal together with its performance for the neutron scattering experiments.
