The European Spallation Source, ESS, uses a linear accelerator to bombard the tungsten target with the high intensity beam of protons for producing the most intense beams of neutrons. The nominal average beam power of the linac is 5 MW with a peak beam power at target of 125 MW. The linac has a normal conducting front end up to ~90 MeV and three families of superconducting sections up to 2 GeV. A rotating tungsten target emits neutrons upon bombardment by these high energy protons and a suit of several instruments is designed to use the neutrons for material science.
