Title :
Overview of future spallation neutron sources
Author_Institution :

Abstract :
Initiatives have commenced, both in Europe and in the USA, towards studies of very intense pulsed spallation neutron sources. Average proton beam powers of up to 5 MW are under consideration, representing an extrapolation of a factor of about 30 over the most intense existing source, ISIS (UK). Various options are discussed, and important design areas of the accelerators and targets are outlined
