ESS – European Spallation Source

ESS will be a research campus with a more than 600 meters long proton accelerator and a 180 meters long hall in which the protons hit a target and send neutrons off to a number of halls with measuring instruments. In the instruments, the neutrons are used to analyze the materials that the researchers are studying. ESS will also contain a number of facilities for researchers: laboratories, offices and a lecture hall.
