The European Spallation Source (ESS) will be a 5 MW neutron spallation research facility where an energetic proton beam incident upon a helium-cooled tungsten target is converted to neutron beams. The liquid hydrogen moderator, water moderator, and reflector systems within the target monolith slow t...
