European Spallation Source

About European Spallation Source

The European Spallation Source (ESS) is a multi-disciplinary research facility located in the UK, dedicated to advancing the field of neutron science. It serves as a hub for researchers from various disciplines, including physics, chemistry, and materials science, providing them with state-of-the-art tools and resources to conduct their experiments.

At ESS, we harness the power of spallation, a process that generates neutrons by bombarding a target material with protons. This innovative approach allows us to produce high-intensity neutron beams, which are essential for probing the structure and dynamics of matter at the atomic level.

Our facility is designed to support a wide range of scientific inquiries, from fundamental research to applied sciences. We aim to foster collaboration among scientists, industry partners, and academic institutions, creating an environment where groundbreaking discoveries can thrive.

ESS is committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility. We strive to minimize our ecological footprint while maximizing the impact of our research. Our vision is to be a leading global centre for neutron research, contributing to advancements in energy, health, and materials development.

• Core Activities:
• Providing access to advanced neutron scattering techniques.
