Abstract The science of materials has always been at the centre of scientific and technological progress in human development. The tools to understand materials that fashion them to meet our societal needs have been just as important. Thermal neutrons are one of the most powerful probes that look directly at the structure and dynamics of materials from the macro- to the microscopic scale and from nano-seconds to seconds. It is therefore natural that a group of 17 European Partner Countries have joined together to construct the world’s most powerful neutron source, the European Spallation Source (ESS). The importance of ESS has been recognised by ESFRI who have prioritised it as one of three Research Infrastructures (RIs) for this INFRADEV-3 call. However, simply constructing the most powerful spallation neutron source will not, by itself, ensure the maximum scientific or technological impact. What is needed is an integrated program that ensures that key challenges are met in order to build an ESS that can deliver high impact scientific and technological knowledge. With a timeline of 36 months, involving 18 Consortium Partners and a budget of nearly 20 MEUR, the BrightnESS proposal will ensure that (A) the extensive knowledge and skills of European companies, and institutes, are best deployed in the form of In-Kind Contributions to ESS for its construction and operation, (B) that technology transfer both to, and from, the ESS to European institutions and companies is optimised and, (C) that the maximum technical performance is obtained from the ESS target, moderators and detectors in order to deliver world class science and insights for materials technology and innovation. 1 Excellence Scientific Impact: In order to meet the challenges of our age and uncover the fundamental secrets of nature, we are increasingly dependent on the properties and behaviour of matter at the atomic and molecular level. The requirements on the techniques we use to probe matter even more closely ever increase, to meet the demands of our societies and the new complexity of matter we uncover or design. Our progress depends on the clarity that is provided by continually advancing our techniques, and neutron methods constitute an essential and unique part of this science tool kit. Neutrons have wavelengths and energies allowing us to obtain information on structural patterns from 10-10 m to 10-2 m and dynamic events from 10-12 s to 1 s, allowing deep penetration of materials without the effects of beam-damage caused by electron or X-ray probes. Europe today has more than 5,000 researchers using neutrons. However, even though neutron beams are very powerful probes, they also have relatively low brightness compared to modern X-ray and electron sources. While, most existing neutron sources are based on nuclear reactors, this technology has reached it’s technological limits in producing a maximum beam brilliance. Spallation (the effect of essentially boiling off neutrons from high atomic-number elements) is 10 times more efficient than fission and has the potential of providing scientific capabilities for research with neutrons well beyond those of existing capabilities. Nature encompasses an enormous span of time and length scales that no single probe can ever cover. Neutron methods are no exception. Complementary between probes rather than competition offers the most powerful synergies: synchrotron X-rays, X-FEL's, electron microscopy, high-field NMR, scanning microscopies, etc. These probes access information that complement that provided by neutrons. The entire toolkit is required to resolve the challenges of tomorrow. The ESS will deliver a peak brightness that is at least 30 times greater than any other source in the world, providing a quality of vision of the inner working of matter that will be at least that much greater and will remain unsurpassed for many years to come. Depending on the specifics of the experiment, ESS instruments that take advantage of longer neutron pulse will enjoy 10-100 times gain in performance compared to what is available today. Important materials will become viable for investigation with neutrons and a range of dynamic and extreme-condition experiments will be possible for the first time. The research areas that will benefit from ESS are as diverse as science itself, covering life science and soft matter, chemistry of materials, energy materials, magnetism and electronic phenomena, engineering materials and geoscience, heritage conservation, and fundamental physics. The ESS will bring the power of neutron methods to real-word samples monitored under real-world conditions. Due to the comparatively low brightness of neutron sources, the deployment of neutron methods has been limited by the need to produce relatively large samples for investigation. In a scientific age where we are exploring systems of higher complexity and phenomena covering many different time scales simultaneously, the need for large samples has held back the usability of neutrons in several fields of science. With ESS this will no longer be the case. The uniquely long-pulse time structure of ESS will enable measurements over a wider temporal and/or spatial dynamic range, providing distinct advantages over present neutron instrumentation. Combined with a higher brightness, ESS is a truly novel facility with the capability to transform the way we use neutrons. Below, selected topics illustrate what ESS will achieve in contrast with the limits of current neutron technology.



Soft Matter: Polymers and colloids, known collectively as soft matter, are the foundations of blossoming technologies that impact our everyday lives, notably pharmaceuticals, detergents, cosmetics and batteries. Neutron scattering has played a pivotal role in this area, utilising the isotopic contrast offered by neutrons between hydrogen and deuterium, which allows various parts of a soft-matter system to be labelled so that their structure and dynamics can be distinguished. Also many of these systems can be susceptible to beam damage from X-ray’s, making neutrons often the probe of choice. The scientific challenge presented by soft-matter systems is that their functionality is spread over a large range of spatial and temporal scales. This places high demands upon experimental probes and techniques as well as on our theoretical tools and understanding. Using ESS in combination with the isotopic contrast techniques accessible only to neutrons, we will capture movies of soft-matter reactions as they evolve. The ESS shall be able to cover a much wider dynamic and spatial range than what is possible today, and will track kinetics and reaction pathways in equilibrium and non-equilibrium conditions that are found in real-world applications. One example waiting for ESS is the fast phase transition in the swelling of polymer hydrogel films used as nano-scale switches in miniaturised sensors. Theoretical interpretation of these multidimensional data will let us unravel the complex heterogeneous behaviour of novel materials, enabling the development of solutions for society. Chemistry of Materials: Society needs better catalysts, improved construction materials, more efficient energy materials and more effective pharmaceuticals. Even after centuries of research and development in experimental and theoretical methods, it remains difficult to predict properties of novel materials. The problem arises from the complexity of these materials, the difficulties in solving the many-body problems needed to understand and predict their behaviour, and on the challenges of measuring both structure and dynamics as a function of time, under experimentally demanding real-world conditions. The ESS will make breakthroughs in materials chemistry by moving well beyond the static snap-shots of structure and dynamics that we can obtain with today’s neutron sources and look at materials in operando in catalytic converters, batteries or fuel cells. With ESS we will track the evolution of dynamics, atomic structure and the important changes in microstructure in action for the first time in these chemically active devices, resulting in movies of the chemistry of materials in realistic conditions with unmatched clarity. This will allow fundamental progress in material design and development for an array of applications important to academic research, commercial development and society. An exciting example where progress will be enable by the capabilities of ESS is in novel polymer-enzyme hybrids catalysis where the kinetics of the polymer cannot be studied with sufficient time resolution at existing neutron sources. Novel quantum states: Novel quantum states in magnetic and electronic materials are a new and exciting frontier of science. They challenge our understanding of the states of matter, and will be at the core of future functional devices that will furnish our households, offices and factories. Examples of new states include magnetic monopoles, a chain of magnetic moments that is formed inside a material long enough that the two ends of the chain act as unique monopoles, or skyrmion lattices, soft magnetic textures on the macroscopic scale that emerge from interactions in the microscopic scale. We would be totally ignorant of these new topological phases if it were not for neutrons, as their detection would be impossible with other techniques without prior knowledge of their existence and exact signature. Novel states of matter such as these topological phases are created under low temperatures and high magnetic fields or pressures, but today many of them cannot be investigated with neutrons as sample volumes for these experiments remains too small. The ESS will provide, for the first time, an opportunity to examine novel phases under more extreme and steady-state conditions on a microscopic scale with full access to the control parameters that tune their fundamental interactions. This research probes fundamental questions on the Anderson-Higg’s transition in emergent superconductors and quantum phase transitions in an array of exciting complex materials with applications from quantum computing to spintronics. Understanding the magnetic order and excitations of these novel phases is uniquely accessible by neutrons. Here the magnetic order is either short-ranged or exhibits very long periodicity making it challenging for resonant X-ray magnetic scattering methods. Only neutron methods provide access with sufficient resolution to the appropriate energy scales of many of these emerging magnetic and electronic phenomena. For the first time at ESS, all relevant energy and length scales required to understand such materials will be measured simultaneously, yielding fundamental understanding of matter while leading towards tomorrow's functional devices. Life Science: The untapped potential of neutron sources is their impact on the life sciences. While neutron sources today are relatively uncompetitive in this field, the use of neutrons for studying biological systems is growing, and ESS will edge closer to the level where neutron experiments can be made in a timely manner without the concern of radiation damage.



Through bright neutron beams and purpose-built lab infrastructure, the ESS will enable investigations of rare biological samples in small quantities, both crystallised and in solution. Unlike X-rays, the non-invasive neutrons leave the sample undamaged, enabling single-sample time-resolved investigations. The brightness of ESS will also increase the throughput and enable more comprehensive systematic parameter analyses, which is in high demand from the pharmaceutical industry. The ESS will thus unleash the unique investigative power of neutrons on the chemistry of life. Current trends in biochemistry and biomedicine are towards higher complexity: it is increasingly clear that biological macromolecules have to be studied in their native environment and understood as a part of a whole, complex system. Neutrons can discern molecular structure and dynamics in large, multicomponent systems of proteins, nucleic acids and lipids without the need of crystallisation, utilizing the unique contrast-matching technique. Until today, the dilution required to avoid protein aggregation has limited the impact of this methodology. The higher neutron brightness of ESS will allow us to examine the structure and dynamics of complex macromolecules in dilute concentrations that are beyond reach today. This facilitates advancement towards a systemic understanding of biology at the molecular level that impacts onto public-health issues such as Alzheimer’s disease. A complex system of particular importance is the biological membrane, complete with proteins, lipids and small molecules. The key to cell-to-cell signalling resides here, as does one of the bottlenecks for effective therapies, namely getting the drugs into the cell. Neutrons are making good headway in the studies of membrane systems, but the large amount of protein currently needed in a membrane sample is prohibitive to studying eukaryotic proteins and glycoproteins, as these are difficult to produce. ESS will reduce protein concentration requirements, facilitating the step from model systems to real-life membranes with implications for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Neutron crystallography provides key information for structure-based drug design, complementing the information gained by X-rays. The ESS will open the door for studying a range of important drug targets, currently inaccessible due to crystal-size requirements. The ESS Project: The European Spallation Source is an under-construction European Materials Research Infrastructure (hereafter: RI), which offers the only way forward to break the much desired 1 MW spallation source barrier, thanks to a novel design of the target which receives millisecond pulses of protons produced by a purpose-built high-current LINAC (50 mA). The instantaneous heat-load on the new spallation target will be reduced from highly destructive tens of GWs at short-pulse sources to a more manageable few MW. The ESS is a partnership of 17 European states committed collectively to building and operating this world’s most powerful long-pulse source of neutrons to achieve a 5 MW capability, thus providing the much-desired transformative capabilities for interdisciplinary

research in the physical and life sciences. The ESS is one of three RIs on the ESFRI Roadmap prioritised for this INFRADEV-3 Call because it “pushes the boundaries of scientific excellence” and is making the transition from the planning to the implementation (construction) stage. The ESFRI prioritisation confirms ESS’s strategic importance for the achievement of the Europe 2020 Innovation Union goals and the further strengthening of the European Research Area. 60 partner laboratories worldwide and the ESS staff at the ESS location in Lund (Sweden) and Copenhagen (Denmark) have worked on its technical design.

The construction of ESS is as unique as ESS itself; this new next generation spallation source is being built on a greenfield site, physically located in Sweden and Denmark and led by both countries. Neither country has the experience of research infrastructures of this type, or at this scale, neither is there a local host laboratory available that can take on the responsibility or leading and managing the project. Therefore to build ESS, most of the necessary skills for its development need to be imported through In-kind Contributions (hereafter IKC) from participating institutes and companies in the member states. The IKC approach is intended to foster collaborations between national academia and industry, representing the entire supply chain. The mission for the ESS is the construction of the world’s best neutron source for research using neutrons. In order to achieve this mission it is necessary to build up an ESS-organisation with the necessary skills to oversee the project and support it’s Partners with the capability to manage and integrate IKC into a one highly integrated machine. This heavy reliance on IKC from many partners, however, poses significant challenges in terms

Figure 1 ESS after completion of construction



of the management of the technologies, interoperability, integration, quality and timeliness of delivery/construction/operation for a complex and technologically advanced project like ESS. While the management and integration of IKC is challenging for a project organisation, it also provides significant and highly desirable advantages for the ESS itself as well as the Member Countries. Access to frontier technology that enables the realisation of ESS would otherwise be unattainable, as well experience technical and scientific personnel and access to unique production facilities and technologies. This is a very important socio-economic driver in that the construction of ESS fuels national innovation potential, competitiveness, and the national GDP of all of the Member States for the long term. This will increase each country’s national and cross-national capacity and help create jobs and growth. Scientific and Technical Challenges: The ESS faces a series of technical challenges that need to be met in order to deliver cutting edge scientific and technological knowledge. A) Detectors: The most important scientific challenge –also identified in the ESFRI report – to respond to is finding alternatives to the use of the scarce Helium-3 (3He) as a vital component in neutron detectors. These management and scientific challenges will be the focus of this INFRADEV-3 proposal. Neutron Detectors are, in essence, cameras and eyes for the neutron instruments at ESS; they allow the neutrons to be seen, visualised, counted and characterised. As such the quality of their data will, to a great extent, determine the quality of the resultant scientific data from the instrument. The detector technology has a clear and direct connection with ESS’s scientific impact. Neutron Detectors have traditionally been built using the isotope Helium-3 as the neutron sensitive material. However, Helium-3 is no longer available in anything but a small quantity, of which none of the supplies are European and therefore developing alternatives are a strategic challenge for Europe. This “Helium-3 Crisis” makes the development of performing neutron detectors key in the Neutron Technology roadmap for ESS; they are key to the future success of ESS. Additionally, as ESS represents a new generation of source, the detectors need not just to equal current performance but to be better than the current state of the art. The intensity of ESS, coming from the multi-MW power of proton beam on the ESS target gives an unprecedented challenge in terms of the detection rate capability of the neutron detectors for ESS. Detectors need to gain in resolution, intensity and large areas. Lastly, as important as performance is the integration of the detectors across the ESS suite to allow the optimal efficiency of usage of these detectors for science productivity. B) Moderators: To a large degree the scientific performance of a spallation neutron source is determined by the quality and reliability of its Moderators. The optimal spectral distribution of neutrons – appropriate energy and wavelength range for the various scientific applications – produced in the spallation procedure is provided by the moderators, special devices in the vicinity of the spallation target that serve as the direct source for illumination for the neutron instruments that perform scientific experiments. The moderator itself is a relatively easy concept. Neutrons that are generated by spallation are highly energetic and we slow them down to useful energies via collisions with light atoms such as hydrogen. The construction of an efficient moderator is by contrast technologically challenging, especially in a megawatt class spallation source. During the technical design, the ESS team has developed next generation moderators that significantly boost the performance of many classes of neutron instrumentation by as much as a factor of 3. Effectively this is the same neutronic performance as a 10 to 15 MW source, a feat that is technologically out of reach. The performance of these novel moderators translates in boosts for scientific capability directly and has indeed been developed while optimising the neutronic performance of the moderators and the neutron instrumentation at the same time a most complex approach never undertaken before to this extent in the design of any neutron source. With the final geometry of the ESS moderator-reflector package decided, the current project aims at advancing its engineering and functional implementation by prototyping of components, experimental benchmark testing at an operating neutron source of the concept and technical solutions. This work will provide greater confidence and reduce technical risk in implementing these breakthrough new moderators at ESS. The realisation of these moderators can have significant impact in boosting the performance of existing and future neutron sources. C) Data: At ESS the experiments to study the atomic structures and excitations in materials will be performed on instruments using the time-of-flight neutron scattering technique. In this technique the neutrons that are produced in pulses (14Hz with ~71ms between pulses) by the ESS accelerator/target/moderator assembly are timed along the instrument flight path from their production in the moderators, to their scattering from the sample of material under study, and finally to their detection in the detector array. This flight time for a scattered neutron is used to calculate its velocity, which can then be converted to wavelength or energy as required. Along with a knowledge of the position where the scattered neutron is measured on the detector array it is therefore possible to obtain the 4-dimensional wavevector (momentum) and energy transfer (Q, E) of the detected neutron to, or from, the sample when it was scattered. From these spectra of scattered neutrons it is possible to reconstruct the structures and excitations of the atoms in the sample of material under study.



The primary source of data on a time-of-flight neutron scattering instrument is therefore the electronics on the detector array that provides the time and position of the detected neutrons. However, this is not the only source of data. There are also important sources of meta-data describing the properties and state of the sample during the measurement itself. Nearly all of the experiments that will be performed by the ESS instruments will in fact involve some form of manipulation of the samples properties/state during the experiment. Thus the scientific data management on the ESS instruments involves the aggregation of the data from (A) the neutron detector arrays, (B) the sample environment (properties and state) equipment and (B) equipment monitoring the status of both the time-of-flight instrument itself and the ESS accelerator/target/moderator assembly. 1.1 Aims and Objectives 1.1.1 Overall aim The ESS is one of three named RI developments in the Work Programme, following the recommendations by ESFRI and confirmed by the Competitiveness Council. The ESS is also in the process of setting up its governance and legal structure as an ERIC. The aim of the BrightnESS project is to be able to efficiently move the RI from its initial/planning phase to the implementation phase and to keep physical construction of the site and development and delivery of vital equipment and components aligned. BrightnESS thus comprises non-scientific and scientific challenges, which were already defined by ESFRI as being major concerns for progress at the ESS:

x The need for a robust administrative management system for In-kind Contributions of Partners x The finding of alternatives to 3He as component for efficient neutron detection

1.1.2 Non-scientific aim and objectives The non-scientific overarching aim is to help ESS make a smooth transition from initiation/planning to the implementation, construction and subsequent operation of its facilities. The project will develop a jointly managed approach that will minimise critical risks of delay and overspending by increasing coordination with a robust set of procedures, processes and tools; this will also help other/future research infrastructures to manage large-scale in-kind contributions from their members and thus create a stronger European Research Area. The specific challenge in achieving the non-scientific aim is building a better co-ownership between ESS and the many institutes in the Partner Countries and deciding on what will be provided in-kind by whom, by when, and to to which quality standards. The ESS has very diverse user communities in the Partner Countries, ranging from large and experienced in countries like FR, DE, UK to the not so experienced in Baltics, Poland and the Czech Republic. What is currently missing is a sufficiently shared sense of trust and belonging of the member states as well as the individual institutes to a community of co-developers. This is vital, because the requirements in the so-called ESS Cost Book (which stipulates the activities, responsibilities and costs for each of the 200+ technical Work Packages) do not only constitute technological challenges, but also have significant financial consequences for the participating institutes, particularly if costs increase. A collaborative framework dealing with different levels of knowledge and experience in managing in-kind contributions does currently not exist, neither at many of the institutes nor at ESS (not foreseen in the ESS overall budget). But if ESS is to achieve a timely development and delivery of knowledge, equipment and services, it is imperative that it now creates the personal and technical framework for such a community. The project’s specific non-scientific objectives are: Community building

x Developing a needs analysis (awareness raising for neutron science, capacity building in scientific methods, business opportunities at ESS, future access) per partner country (national authorities and participating institutes) of expectations of future academic and industrial users. Many Partner Countries currently do not know how to link ESS research to national academic and commercial research. The analysis will lead to identification of new target groups with the aim to raise awareness of the potential of neutron research for their purposes, once ESS is completed

x Developing 5 regional hubs North-West (UK, NL) Central (DE, CH, CZ, PL), Iberia (ES), South-East (IT, HU), Gallia (FR) to ensure that In-kind Contributions (IKC) comply with the required/agreed quality standards and delivery schedules

x Development of an online ‘best practice platform’ for partner institutes and participating companies to learn about how to best manage (financially, technically and organisationally) the delivery of complex technology work packages.



x Increasing the number of Partner Countries with at least 3 new members (possible countries are: BE, AT, GR, TR, RO, PT) to confirm ESS as a truly Europe-wide Research Infrastructure and allow maximum participation in the construction of and research at ESS.

In-kind risk management

x Setting up a dedicated In-kind Advisory Board (IKAB) at ESS, which will manage and monitor IKCs from the project partners. The central project office will act as contact point for the in-kind providers who have assumed the financial and technical risk for assigned technical work packages.

x Developing a dedicated electronic platform for the monitoring of all IKCs at ESS, which incorporates data from the regional hubs.

x Tracking risk-trajectories of IKCs and alert ESS and the relevant institute(s) about changing risk-levels and contingency options in case of delays, potential cost overshoots or quality issues.

x Providing contingency options for ESS to avoid costly construction delays in case some components have delayed delivery.

Industrial participation, knowledge transfer and research leveraging

x Strengthening the ESS Industrial Liaison Offices Network (ILO) to develop national industry-led consortia able to respond to ESS tenders. Strengthening means: delivering timely information about forthcoming procurements at ESS or at its IKC partner organisations. The ILOs will support the matchmaking of bidders to ensure high quality offers for each tender. This will assure that knowledge gained through participation in ESS construction will lead to more industrial competitiveness.

x Encouraging knowledge and technology transfer leading to commercial spin-off opportunities that contribute to the creation of new jobs. The Technology Transfer Officer (TTO) will screen inventions, evaluate its patentability and support the entire commercialisation process. The TTO will be set up and trained by experienced and successful professionals from ESS partner laboratories, leveraging their knowledge.

x Capacity building of Public Procurement of Innovation at Partner countries in order to prepare the launch of one Pre-Commercial-Procurement.

Improving the ESS governance structure

x Resolving the legal transition from a Swedish AB structure to an official ERIC governance x Resolving tax exemption issues resulting from the transition from Swedish AB structure to ERIC governance x Implementing ERIC specific procurement rules x Resolving HR-related issues from the transition from a Swedish AB structure to ERIC governance

1.1.3 Scientific aims and objectives A) Neutron detectors. BrightnESS will research and develop technologies, which can replace 3He as a vital component in neutron detectors, enabling and guaranteeing the molecular and atomic study of materials despite the scarce of the 3He isotope. This will strengthen the international outreach of Europe in this field and, subsequently, of the rest of research fields and industries which will benefit from the findings on the materials and substances which will be analysed. In addition to that, revolutionary concepts of novel neutron moderator testing capabilities for improving functional understanding and development of engineering solutions for novel ESS moderator design will be established, enabling beams of thermal and cold neutrons with unprecedented intensities. The specific scientific objective is to push forward detector developments so that Instruments at ESS can be an order of magnitude “better” than current state of the art;; This will be achieved by pushing neutron detector resolution from ca. 1mm to ca. 100 microns, by pushing the achievable intensities from 1 order of magnitude above current state-of-the-art towards 2 orders of magnitude improvement and by replacing Helium-3 as the neutron-sensitive material in neutron detectors, and achieve the same performance as is possible from Helium-3 tubes, but with substantially lower cost, and without the problems of strategic scarcity of material. This will reduce demand for the rare Helium-3 gas by, at least, 20-30,000 litres for ESS alone. These developments will open up new possibilities in neutron instrument design, and represents a new opportunity. They also allow the detectors to be able to perform at the start-up of the facility; this will allow early science output and early societal impact from scientific advances from the new facility. B) Neutron moderators. BrightnESS will also optimise the implementation of a new design concept for neutron moderators. The initial conceptual design and feasibility study of ESS has been performed using the by now available and



well-established best moderator design practice, followed by now by the existing neutron sources1. This new concept has been optimised taking into account the performance of 22 different neutron instruments and it is now the new moderator base line at ESS. We estimate that these new relative flat cryogenic moderator would result to as much as 250% performance increase in certain instrument classes compared to using the current state-of-the-art approach. This gain will be translated to a similar gain on useful beam intensity in experiments with relatively small samples in the range of less than a 1 cm dimensions. For example, in the area of protein crystallography beams in the order of 300-500 micros in height would significantly benefit from this advance. This beam intensity gain for samples that are not available in large quantities leads to crucial, qualitative new capabilities for ESS: with the total flux gains now enhanced to up to 2 orders of magnitude compared to existing neutron facilities, whole new fields of research will become accessible that today are impractical within the longest practically imaginable beam time allocation of 1 - 3 months for a scattering experiment. (For large samples this gain is expected to be in the range of half as much.) On the whole the new moderator design approach will allow ESS to start operation with a 2 times improved cost – benefit ratio compared to current state-of-the-art neutron source design. In view of the radiation damage they are exposed to at ESS, moderators will have to be regularly changed after one-two years of operation. These changes are opportunities to systematically improve the moderator performance on the basis of accumulating experience and improving understanding. The specific scientific objective is to advance the development and implementation of novel cold neutron moderators for ESS by testing and functionally characterising prototypes in power operation at an existing neutron source facility These moderators will outperform those, designed originally for the ESS based on conventional techniques by a factor of 2-3. This means that the brightness of the moderators will be increased by an unprecedented manner (careful redesign and optimisation of traditional moderators yielding 20 - 50 % of gain – e.g. in the case of the moderator reconstruction of the NIST/Washington or the LLB/Paris reactors). This tremendous increase in brightness will enable the construction of neutron spectrometers at ESS with parameters outperforming existing instruments by factors of 50 to 100. C) Data Management. BrightnESS will develop the software needed to enable real time processing, and feedback, from the experimental data taken during experiments on ESS instruments. In order to do this three specific software developments are required. Firstly, software needs to be developed that will acquire the data from the electronics on the new neutron detector types being developed in response the unavailability of He-3 detectors. Secondly, software needs to be developed to capture, and timestamp, fast sample environment changes made in synchronisation with the ESS neutron pulses. Thirdly, the aggregation software that integrates the neutron data, the fast sample environment data, and also the conventional slow sample environment and instrument data, and makes this aggregated data available, as a publish/subscribe data stream in real time needs to be developed. All three of the software developments needs to be optimised for speed to perform these tasks in real time, and the aggregator software needs to be able to create data streams that can be used by the data reduction and analysis software packages. The specific scientific objective is to maximise the scientific output from the experiments on ESS instruments by enabling live (real time) processing of the data taken, both the event data corresponding to neutrons scattered from the sample, and the meta-data describing the status (environment) of the sample when the neutrons are scattered. This will allow real time feedback in order to steer the experiments and optimise the data collection strategies and hence the results from the experiment. 1.2 Relation to the work programme The work programme outlines in detail the different challenges and activities, which individual ESFRI infrastructures should cover if they are moving to the implementation and operation, phase. The table below shows which of the activities BrightnESS responds to: Table 1.1 Relation to the work programme Call text Challenges Project fit with Call Central management and coordination, including setting up and initial running of the central coordination office

x BrightnESS will set up a dedicated central project office and 5 regional hubs to coordinate the development, quality and delivery of IKC by the participating institutes. The project office will be able to track the development and delivery of in-kind components and take necessary

Call text Challenges Project fit with Call risk-mitigation steps where necessary.

Integration of the new entity in the European landscape of related facilities, and in the local context

x The ESS is in the process of organising itself as an ERIC alongside several other ERICs.

x Due to the fact that ESS is a greenfield development, it is by default the focal point for the technological contributions of the many national research institutes in the Partner Countries and beyond. Furthermore ESS will actively build the collaboration potential by adding more member states and supporting less experienced national research facilities to participate and take responsibility in the technology development. As most of the IKCs will be developed at national/local level, the ESS will help improve and focus overall local research capacity and foster new academic and commercial opportunities

Introduction of new processes or software facilitating the take-up by the research communities of the new facility

x The Central IKC Coordination Office and the IKC support system to be developed in this project, plus the regional hubs, are intended to encourage and guide – in particular less experienced - facilities in the Partner Countries to assume technical and financial responsibility for the delivery of an ESS Work Package. Furthermore, ESS will build capacity and knowledge at the national ILOs to identify new interests and added values for research communities in utilising the ESS infrastructure.

Development of high performance metho-dologies and protocols, high performance instrumentation, including the testing of components, subsystems, materials, techniques and dedicated software

x Development of moderator testing capabilities for improving functional understanding and development of engineering solutions for novel ESS moderator design; gain functional and operational experience in advance of starting ESS operation.

R&D and engineering work jointly with industry and users; pre-commercial procure-ment processes, public procurement of innovation

x The ESS will engage with national stakeholders to identify and analyse national industries and specific users, both for the construction of ESS and also for the research at ESS once it is operational.

x The ESS largely relies for its construction on national R&D and engineering industries to provide the necessary technologies and services. ESS has developed a Cost Book showing the services and technologies it requires. The BrightnESS project will help to create awareness among industries about the Cost Book and help industries identify and respond to ESS R&D and engineering requirements.

x The national ILO’s, supported by the IKAB, will be instrumental in linking R&D and engineering to industry and end users, identifying business cases and paths to market uptake. The ESS as a public procurer (following ERIC rules) will actively involve industry at an earlier stage in R&D projects and share the risks and benefits of designing, prototyping and testing new products. The BrightnESS project will develop the process and procedures – including IP arrangements, workflows, tools and stakeholder management – relevant to ESS and prepare for at least 1 Pre-Commercial Procurement of key technical goods.

Coordination with national or international related initiatives and support to the deploy-ment of global and sustainable approaches in the field

x The ESS is the embodiment of the need felt by many European countries and national institutes to have a large facility which can perform next-generation materials research. It is widely recognised that advanced materials development is a high-potential growth market or requirement for many industrial sectors, but new research is too expensive for most countries to fund on a purely national level.

x The greenfield approach relies on an agreement with the member countries that their national research institutes develop the technologies needed for ESS’s operations. The national institutes will apply to their research and education ministries for funding of these developments. In other words: ESS requirements are linked to national initiatives and policies through the fact that the participation of the institutes is funded on a national level.



Call text Challenges Project fit with Call Activities to increase the potential for innovation, including social innovation, of the related infrastructure, such as networking with industries (including SMEs), facilitating their involvement as partners of the research infrastructures for technological develop-ments, developing customised services for industry and SMEs, dissemination of research outcome and technology transfer

x BrightnESS will build capacity and knowledge inside the Industrial Liaison Offices Network (ILO), who are tasked to develop national national or trans-national industry-led consortia able to respond to ESS tenders. They will ensure that industry – and in particular R&D SMEs – are informed and have access to the ESS Cost Book. The ILOs (together with the 5 Regional ESS Hubs) will organise workshops for industry with national research institutes about technology developments in relation to materials research at ESS and to also help them to develop joint bids in order to limit individual financial exposure.

x Capacity will be built inside the national ILOs to identify business cases in materials research at ESS. The already mentioned pre-commercial-procurement approach will be one instrument used to foster a truly collaborative R&D environment.

x BrightnESS will feature a large Work Package on technology transfer and dissemination of research outcomes. The activities will be made specific to different target groups, with the aim of encouraging commercial spin-off opportunities that contribute to the creation of new jobs.

Spreading of good practices, consultancy and training courses to new users; outreach

x BrightnESS has specific tasks in WPs 2, 3 and 6 that concern best practice exchange for IKC, best practice exchange with other ERICS, capacity building in Technology and Knowledge transfer, capacity building in Public Procurement of Innovation, outreach activities for future scientific and industrial users and capacity building of SMEs for tender procedures

1.2.1 BrightnESS relation to key European strategies and initiatives By its nature, the ESS approach towards construction of the facilities requires academic and research institutes and large and small companies to work together in the construction of the ESS. The approach has many interdisciplinary and cross-fertilisation aspects which have the potential for a pan-European and global R&D and – once ESS is operational – product development footprint that is not achievable at a national scale. BrightnESS facilitates this process both on a non-scientific level through the establishment of a framework and network for taking part in ESS construction activities as well as on a scientific level in the search for a replacement of 3He and optimisation toward of higher and tunable neutron energy beams needed for new materials research. BrightnESS thus directly connects with and contributes to main key European initiatives as illustrated in the following table: Table 1.2 Relation to key European strategies and initiatives Key European Initiative

BrightnESS – ESS connection

Europe 2020 strategy2 BrightnESS will provide a vital support framework for ESS so that Europe can deliver upon its Smart Growth strategy toward a more resource efficient and competitive economy. Having the world’s most advanced research centre on materials research will generate new knowledge and capability in the development of better and stronger (combinations of) materials needed in future products. The research will lead to alternatives for rare materials and increase resource efficiency. Furthermore, the approach taken for ESS and implemented in part through BrightnESS is evidence of a new sustainable approach for synergy in national R&D investments, which the EC hopes to increase to 3%. The new facility will benefit many companies that are in need of the knowledge generated by spallation but who could never hope to invest in the required infrastructure themselves. Finally, BrightnESS specifically also targets Partner Countries (and prospective new Partner Countries) which currently have a lesser advanced research capability in this area of physics research and who hope to increase their own R&D infrastructure (fields of research, researchers, research companies etc) by

participating in the construction and the technology development for ESS. Innovation Union3 BrightnESS is a project specifically targeted at stakeholders (national government R&D funders,

research institutes, universities, large and smaller R&D oriented companies) to turn knowledge and experience gained in participating in collaborative ESS construction WPs into new jobs, growth in new products and services and increased international competitiveness.

Resource efficient Europe4

BrightnESS is a real-life example of R&D and financial resource efficiency, as it is the instrument through which nationally funded and developed technology development is integrated into a full-scale facility that serves all it members and beyond. As explained already at the beginning of this proposal, ESS itself is about the investigation into materials that may lead to not just a better understanding of their properties, but to (combinations of) new materials that meet future product requirements whilst reducing the amount or type of (rare) resource needed for its production.

Industrial Policy for the Globalisation Era5

BrightnESS is the framework for instrument development and facility construction that allows the ESS to become the centres for research in materials-based key enabling technologies that lead to a wide variety of new processes and goods and services, including the development of entirely new industries and strengthens Europe’s leading position in scientific research and innovation. Without BrightnESS, the construction of ESS will face serious risks in its timely delivery and start of operation, and thus could lead to a decrease (or at least a later start of) European competitiveness.

Agenda for new skills and jobs6

Through the support of ILOs and the establishment of Regional Hubs, the BrightnESS project constitutes a first-hand opportunity for Research Organisations, large enterprises, SMEs and start-ups to develop new knowledge and skills through participation in the ESS construction phase. These new skills will make these organisations stronger and ready for new business opportunities that are required in a globally competitive R&D market. These opportunities will result in new employment opportunities.

It is also important to note that the smooth construction and operation of ESS through BrightnESS will help advance other existing EU funded research projects into materials, resource efficiency, new production processes and related areas. Without BrightnESS to guide the technology development integration, research into higher energy tunable neutron beams 3He alternatives, the technology development in these adjacent (new) projects may be delayed, thus reducing Europe’s competitive edge and job creation potential. 1.3 Concept and approach The non-scientific concept underpinning the project is the need to find a practical and flexible means to managing In-kind Contributions (IKC) from Member States, who have – at least partly - entered into the ESS Agreement in the understanding that the technological development (won research and engineering tenders for the ESS construction, new knowledge gained) and future material research results would largely benefit institutes and companies on a national level. As a principle this is fine, but at this time there is no system or process in place which links and manages ESS research and construction needs to national delivery of technology and engineering services, nor a system which actively fosters interest of companies (in particular SMEs) in the possibilities that ESS materials research could offer them. The current system is limited to the hosting of publications and public tenders. This issue is widely recognised by the Partner Countries and has been identified by ESFRI and the ESS management as a major risk factor in the success of ESS because it undermines the ownership of technology development and thus the timely construction and completion of the facility.7

The concept in BrightnESS, therefore combines (A) the development of an integrated IKC management and monitoring system (incl. risk management, using a central project office) and (B) the creation of a truly collaborative community, very experienced European Research Organisation, as well as less experienced countries and institutes. Five Regional Hubs will assist the institutes in all Partner Countries to identify the IKC per country and support in the securing of contracts with ESS, comply with the qualitative and quantitative delivery of the In-kind Packages. The Regional Hubs will – where possible – link institutes across different Partner Countries to encourage joint bids to the ESS Cost Book. By improving and expanding the role of the Industrial Liaison Offices, ESS will help the Partner Countries identify which institutes and companies (in particular also SMEs) may benefit either from the construction phase or the operational phase of ESS. This will be done through a rigorous analysis and thorough subsequent targeted dissemination and knowledge transfer activities as described later in the proposal. Both parts – IKC management and community building – will reinforce everyone’s involved effectiveness.

ESS Gender Policy ESS continuously works to promote women's and men's equal rights with regard to work, terms of employment and working conditions as well as development opportunities within the workplace. ESS, together with staff representatives, works on positive measures to ensure that equality in the workplace is achieved. This entails an equal division of women and men within all areas and grades as well as utilising both women's and men's points of view, knowledge and experience. At ESS, the state of gender equality is characterised by women and men being equally valued, having equal rights, duties and the opportunity to work, influence and progress. For the company this means putting the resources found in the workforce to best use, and ensuring opportunities are made available for personal development. At present, the ESS Staff includes 33% women in total, which is above average for scientific facilities. In addition, female representatives are included in both the ESS Board and Executive Management. 1.4 Ambition The ambitions of this project are three-fold: 1. To move the ESS to the implementation stage by setting up a first-of-a-kind monitoring and risk-management

structure for the handling of multi-party In-kind Contributions for the creation of Research Infrastructures 2. To make the worldwide breakthrough in neutron detectors and moderators that will represent a paradigm shift in terms

of advanced material characterisation. 3. To enable a real time processing and feedback data platform from the experimental data taken during experiments on

ESS instruments. Given the above and the criticality and importance of these developments for the ESS project, they are selected to be part of this application. The first ambition relates to the issue of building an RI using a wide variety of national institutes to deliver knowledge, equipment and materials to ESS to the technical quality levels specified and in a timely manner in order to complete its construction. ESS is considered one of the prime RIs able to contribute to achieving the EC’s aim of having 60% of ESFRI projects launch their construction by 2015. In order to do this, ESS will need to manage the currently widely diverging expectations of different national member states about their institutes’ role, the potential of institutes and companies in their countries to secure technology and engineering tenders and the benefits of ESS to future competitiveness and job growth in their country. The ESS greenfield development and IKC approach was chosen because the costs of building and operating the world’s most powerful neutron research infrastructure is neither economically feasible nor politically achievable at a national level. Other ERICs manage large consortia of partners and stakeholders as well, but they do not nearly have the centralised hardware technology requirements of ESS at a time of difficult economic conditions. The only way to allow ESS to move from initiation to construction has been to carry out the majority of work at national level, using national funding and working on the premise that the benefits should lie primarily at national level before the ESS starts its operations. The ambition to move into the construction and subsequent operational phase can only be achieved if a thus-far unprecedented system for managing a very complex interaction of nationally approved, nationally organised and nationally funded section of the ESS-construction is put in place. The risks involved, due to possible delays in delivery – either from partners not accepting to take responsibility for development of components, or the timely delivery to ESS at the agreed quality level) are very high. This issue cannot be solved by ‘just’ installing an ‘off-the-shelf’’ ICT monitoring tool such as Primavera. The sense of ownership will only come if participating countries and organisations feel that they are in control of the inherent cost risks associated with developing novel technologies and can identify potential spin off from the participation. In line with the EUs ambition to expand and enhance the ERA-network, this means that ESS must also actively support those Partner Countries that do not have an established national RI-infrastructure enabling them to fully participate in and benefit from ESS construction and research. The BrightnESS project

Figure 2. 12 Instruments will be developed at national institutes, to be placed at ESS in Lund



will be the first of its kind to build this widespread collaborative community combined with a rigorous IKC monitoring and management system. Such system will be centralised and provide reports on activities status, quality control, process tracking and relationship status (See section 3, Task 2.1 for more information). In carrying out its activities, BrightnESS may also provide a very valuable approach for future European RIs needing large-scale In-kind Contributions from their members. As a final point it should be mentioned that ESS will put in place at least one Pre-Competitive-Procurement, thus tendering high impact tasks for the benefit of the neutron scattering and advanced material community. The second ambition relates to the breakthrough in neutron detectors and moderators that will represent a paradigm shift in terms of advanced material characterisation. Neutron detectors and moderators are key aspects for the ESS project which need special attention since they require to innovate on cutting-edge technology: for moderators because they will outperform the conventional techniques by 200 - 300%, and for detectors because they need to be many times more powerful to the existing ones and work will be done to find alternatives to the commonly used Helium–3, scarce and not commercialised in Europe. ESS is an ambitious project itself, it is a megawatt class long-pulse spallation neutron source which has never been built so far. Moderators and detectors are bespoke engineering for such world-leading classes of infrastructure; the advances made within BrightnESS will raise the bar and set the direction and standard for future neutron detectors and moderators at all neutron scattering centres Europe-wide, and therefore advance the scientific reach and capability of neutron scattering science. Instruments at ESS aim to be an order of magnitude “better” than current state of the art;; the detector developments outlined will allow the early ESS instruments to achieve this ambitious goal. They also allow the detectors to be able to perform at the start-up of the facility. There are specific aspects to address realising detectors with

a) time-resolved detectors with resolutions a factor 10 better than state of the art for Magnetic Diffraction and Neutron Crystallography applications at ESS

b) neutron detectors which can detect instantaneous intensities at least factors of 30 above state of the art. c) realising cost-effective large area detectors which are replacements for the strategically rare Helium-3

material, at the historical price of such detectors d) integration across and throughout the developments through interdisciplinary collaboration and synergy to

ensure cost-effectiveness for detector development, production and commissioning. In regards to moderators, over the last several years scientists and engineers at ESS have developed novel theoretical concepts (low dimensional moderators: flat moderators, tube moderators) that promise to greatly enhance the performance of neutron scattering facilities in general. These concepts have however not been implemented in an operating facility. The ambition of this project is to help transforming these theoretical concepts into engineering realities in the shortest time possible, including prototype tests at an operating facility, and thereby allowing the scientific community to benefit from these advances as early and as much as possible. The third ambition is related to the development of a Real Time Data Management for ESS. Firstly for the incorporation of a data acquisition process from the new neutron detector types being developed in response to the unavailability of He-3 and secondly for enabling neutron scattering to be used in wholly new real time investigations of the response of material samples to fast manipulation of their sample environment. Developing the software to enable this new capability for neutron scattering will enable it to be used in the studies of the processing of materials not just their static properties. 2 Impact 2.1 Expected impact The ESFRI Strategy Report8 on Research Infrastructures starts by stating: “The success of the European economy is increasingly dependent on scientific and technological innovation”. It continues by arguing that “(…) research and innovation are the key drivers of Europe’s future, especially in periods of economic instability” and that “[RIs] are the guarantee for producing new ideas and developments which turn into innovations and hence, in a longer term, into jobs”. It is therefore not surprising that both ESFRI and the European Commission want to speed up the development of several ESFRI projects toward actual implementation. The ESS is one of three projects (together with EPOS and ELIXIR) considered ready “for immediate action”. The ESS’s expected impact on Europe’s scientific and commercial/competitive landscape is without doubt, as evidenced by the following statement from ESFRI:

8 ESFRI: Strategy Report on Research Infrastructures. http://ec.europa.eu/research/infrastructures/pdf/esfri-strategy_report_and_roadmap.pdf



“It will offer transformative capabilities for interdisciplinary research in the physical and life sciences with strong connections to industry in areas such as engineering and electronics.” - Source: ESFRI report on Prioritisation of Support to ESFRI Projects for Implementation, 7 April 2014. 2.1.1 Expected impact from Call text BrightnESS brings out a perfect match to the interest of the call INFRADEV-3-2015 as evidenced by table 2.1. Table 2.1. Expected impact of BrightnESS Expected Impact in INFRADEV-3-2015 BrightnESS contribution Contribute to the realisation of the Innovation Union flagship initiative's Commitment n. 5: "to complete or launch the construction of 60% of the ESFRI projects by 2015"

Basic physical construction (ie. side preparation buildings) began in 2014. From now on, the many technology/science instruments and components of ESS need to be developed and delivered to ESS in a coordinated and timely manner to avoid costly delays in the further construction process. With so many partners and over 200 technical work packages, this is a highly complex task, which was not budgeted, in the original ESS budget agreed by the participating Member States. Without sufficient attention to coordination, integration and promoting increased involvement at national level (companies, institutes etc) the timely construction of ESS is in serious jeopardy. INFRADEV-3-2015 funding will allow ESS to properly manage the integration of the ESS instruments into the RI, thus clearly supporting Innovation Union Commitment n. 5. Furthermore, through this project ESS will help develop a thorough and detailed blueprint for other Research Infrastructures (future ERICs) for the management and monitoring of large national In-kind Contributions (IKC) to the construction of their facility. Precisely because of the fact that ESS is a greenfield development, all relevant management aspects – from defining the equipment and knowledge needs and allocating them through national contracts to monitoring delivery of IKCs, streamlining/risk-managing the delivery process and increasing wider participation from industry and academia – will be taken into account.

Strengthen the ERA position and role in the global research environment

Europe today has more than 5,000 researchers using neutrons. The limitations of reactor technology have long been known, as a consensus among neutron scientists that increased spallation capacity is a necessary step forward. Once constructed and operational using the most advanced technology developed at this stage, ESS will become the focal point for global materials research thanks to the unrivalled brightness of its neutron beams.

Reinforce the partnership between the Commission, Member States, Associated Countries and relevant stakeholders in establishing pan-European research infrastructures

ESS is a partnership of currently 17 European nations committed to the goal of collectively building and operating the world’s most powerful long-pulse source of neutrons, with 5 MW capability. BrightnESS will increase the number of Partner Countries by at least 5. In particular, BrightnESS will focus on countries with less developed research infrastructure to increase their technology level. This is done by means of a network of Regional Hubs and ILOs to increase participation, which is not centralised, but coordinated by the Central IKC Coordination Office. Furthermore, cost of development, construction and operation of increasingly complex RIs is becoming prohibitive for any single country. The ESS is a first-of-its-kind RI relying on national self-interest (member states spending funds on ESS by fostering research at national level and encouraging industry participation at national level). BrightnESS will provide a reliable frame of reference for the EC, the Member States and stakeholders on the coordination and integration of nationally developed technologies so that all benefit.

Enhance the role of the Union in international organisations and multilateral forums

The ESS is the biggest international RI centre for materials science, using neutrons as a source. Hundreds of scientists from 50 universities have and laboratories have participated on it, and collaborated to their technology



Expected Impact in INFRADEV-3-2015 BrightnESS contribution roadmap. Given the nature of the research infrastructure, based on the sharing of scientists and resources, it is in constant communication with the main lines of atomic research worldwide, enabled by CERN, ITER or the ILL among others. BrightnESS aims to position the ESS, together at the forefront of atomic research through IKCs in the form of equipment, staff, know-how, etc. The target for ESS is to be the entity that represents the common ground of the European atomic research.

Support progress towards the development of global research infrastructures

The ESS, enabled by the BrightnESS project, aims to become the biggest shared research infrastructure worldwide. The management structure proposed as well as the political agreements thereby shall become an example of other current and future shared research infrastructures.

Foster capacity building and Research Infrastructure human capital development in targeted/relevant regions

BrightnESS aims to develop and implement an In-Kind information system for coordinating IKC activities into a network formed by 5 Regional Hubs. Moreover, it will develop a ‘Best Practice’ system and standards for the implementation of such In-kind activities.

Raise the technological level of the European industry and SME's, thus improving their competitive position, through their involvement in research infrastructures development and service provision.

Neutron science is the science of everyday life. It is important for the development of new and better computer chips, cosmetics, detergents, textiles, paints, fuels, drugs, batteries and plastics. Industrial drivers such as fuel cells, superconductors, innovative structural engineering, climate, transportation and food technologies, pharmaceuticals, medical devices and clean energy, are all dependent on advances in the capacity and capability of the science of neutron imaging. The ESS will be in constant communication with a number of industries (see Section 2.2.1 and WP6 description) and have ILOs in place to increase such cooperation.

2.1.2 Increase of innovation capacity More than 50 universities, research institutes and laboratories from all over the world have taken part in the pre-construction of ESS and the ESS Design Update, in which the advanced technical design of ESS has been updated and optimised. They will also take part in the Construction Phase. Once in operation, ESS will be visited by an estimated two to three thousand scientists from academia as well as industry each year to perform experiments. Most users will be based at European universities and institutes, others within industry. The innovation capacity of ESS has two sides: the innovation at construction stage and at operational stage.

2.1.2.1 Innovation at construction stage The ESS is a RI comprising highly advanced and partly as-yet untested technologies based on requirements in the Cost Book. Thanks to the IKC-approach, national partner institutes will be the primary source for delivery of these technologies, meaning that much of the research and development will take place at national level. In order to deliver the technologies, companies across Europe will be requested to engineer and produce scientific components, which shall be part of the novel neutron detectors and moderator systems (for instance the Micro Time Projection Chamber (TPC), or the Gas Electron Multipliers (GEMs)), and provide engineering services in the actual construction of the facility. With 22 different instruments focusing on a single core the collaboration and construction challenges are high. Both the national facilities and companies will gain new knowledge through their participation in the construction phase of ESS and thus be able to use that knowledge to develop new concepts and products leading to more competitiveness and jobs. The ILOs and the regional hubs are meant to facilitate the process of participation (through tendering and collaborative projects) and to ensure that the highest possible scientific and engineering standards are met. BrightnESS aims to enable an improved collaboration between industry and institutes based on CO-INNOVATION9 instead of traditional supplier-approach. In CO-INNOVATION, industry is not seen as a component deliverer but as a

9 Consortium partner CERN recently (2014) proposed to the European Commission a new collaboration paradigm between European RIs and Industry. Co-Innovation means “…identifying innovation synergies between parties, co-developing and jointly implementing projects leading to beneficial breakthrough innovation applications for the identified partner needs while working under win-win frameworks””. The concept aims to implement the transition between Open Science towards Open Innovation (the latter concept developed by Henry Chesbrough at the Haas School of Business of Berkely University). It intentionally moves away from the traditional Industry-RI of equipment/technology supply-demand. Co-Innovation will lead to faster technology development, faster time-to-market of breakthrough applications, better access to network and synergy in the use of RI-industry research talent. More details can be found here: http://www.attract-eu.org/uploads/3/8/0/4/38044307/attract_white_paper.pdf p. 5-6.



research partner; both industry and research centre are equal and do research on a basis of risk-sharing. A decentralised network of ILOs and Regional Hubs will increase awareness on this novel innovation scheme so that new organisations (companies, start-ups, less developed institutes) begin to participate.

2.1.2.2 Innovation at the operational stage It is the role of the Central IKC Coordination Office, the ILOs and the Regional Hubs to ensure a steady flow of information to potentially interested companies to participate in the construction of ESS. The ESS TTO, with the ILO’s will be the driver behind many new start-up companies wishing to exploit findings in different industrial areas. IKC will be essentially an effective instrument for future upgrades of technologies of large RIs. Given the high cost of the future ESS upgrades, identifying a common ground on the different technological roadmaps and a coordination of the IKCs is mandatory in order to afford those costs. A proven IKC-instrument in which national organisations deliver based on self-interest, is the only way forward. Researchers from national institutes will be able to carry out experiments at ESS, which they could not perform at local level due to the cost and complexity of a neutron research laboratory of these dimensions and capabilities. The knowledge they gain will be of value to them when performing subsequent research into different scientific areas such as material sciences, life sciences etc. The same holds true for companies: ESS will allow them to submit research requests in materials, which they could never be carried out otherwise. The results will help them develop new products and thus remain competitive. 2.1.3 Market impact and economic exploitation The basic premise behind the ESS development is that Partner Countries fund the necessary ESS development through financially supporting national scientific institutes and encouraging companies in their respective countries to help construct the ESS facilities and perform R&D and engineering works. This will create jobs at the institutes and in companies during the ESS construction phase. Furthermore, it is expected that during this phase, both institutes and companies will gain new knowledge and experience which they can use for their own nationally oriented research agendas and (in the case of companies) product and service portfolios. The Partner Countries expect that this will in turn contribute to new economic growth at national level, maintaining and creating jobs and establishing new companies that, thanks to the advanced knowledge, will be able to compete on a global playing field. The strategies for economic exploitation of new knowledge will be developed by the institutes and companies individually in each country. This will vary from the development into more advanced basic research capability at a scientific/academic level to the development of new accelerator knowledge for use in adjacent fields of science (example: proton radiation therapy for cancer research) to new commercial applications in components and systems. In the BrightnESS project, all stakeholders are supported in identifying R&D and commercial opportunities from the ESS technical construction WPs and guided throughout the process to maximise the level of new knowledge gained from this experience and include that into their further R&D and/or business development plans. BrightnESS will provide for this through the creation and maintenance of a dedicated network of ILO officers and regional hubs that will help stakeholder identify relevant technical WPs and take a share in the ESS construction. In particular also SMEs will benefit from this support service.

2.1.3.1 Exploitation plan per partner Each Partner has a well-defined individual exploitation plan, as indicated in the table below. Table 2.2. Exploitation plans per partner of BrightnESS Partner Exploitation plan IEAP CTU IEAP CTU intends to continue in already established cooperation with Czech and European

SMEs (CSRC Brno, Widepix Prague, Jablotron Jablonec nad Nisou) and also new SMEs (MidDec Sundsvall). It is expected to transfer new IP to these companies in the form of know-how licencing. The knowledge gained inside IEAP CTU may result into the creation new products and further applications with expected high commercial value. IEAP CTU has a number of strategic projects in this area, such as SATRAM, QUICOM, ARDENT, ATLAS-MPX, further details see table in Sec. 1.3.



Partner Exploitation plan In frame of BrightnESS, IEAP CTU intends to strengthen cooperation with strategic partners: PSI, ILL, MiUN and establish new contacts, e.g. Delft TU (TUD), RAL STFC.

KU The development resulting from WP 5.1 is expected to be of interest for companies using specialised detectors and advanced image processing from large image data sets.

DTI DTI as WP leader for communication and dissemination will interact with all partners and target groups thereby greatly expand the organisation’s network within the Big Science industry at the European level. This is expected to create potential for several new R&D or commercial projects involving Danish and other European actors. It will also support the expansion of DTI’s Big Science Secretariat’s activities at a European level, giving better opportunity for Danish companies to participate in transnational consortia for biding on ESS commercial procurement or IKC.

CEA The market studies show that industrial companies regard the research infrastructures as the premium segment of the scientific market. A majority of companies report increased sales in other segments, thanks to references and experience from the research infrastructures. This applies particularly to the high technology of accelerator components, both normal conducting and superconducting. CEA intends to support the implication of SME and large companies in the domain based on specific roadmaps in view of enhancing the market impact.

ILL In order to maintain its excellence in neutron scattering science, the ILL has always considered the modernisation of its instruments as a priority. Detectors being a key component of neutron instruments, developing alternatives to 3He detectors is mandatory to circumvent the shortage of this gas. Without alternatives, some new instruments, which have already been planned, will not be feasible. This is the case for example for the Time Of Flight RAMSES instrument currently under discussion. When built with 3He PSDs the detector of RAMSES would require more than 1000 liters of 3He, a quantity not affordable today. One possibility is to use the Multi-Grid technology developed during the CRISP project. As a result of the Brightness project, the fabrication and test of a Multi-Grid demonstrator for RAMSES, will finalise the validation of this design and secure the ability of the ILL to modernise its instruments.

FZJ JCNS/FZJ intends to interact with SMEs (such as Swiss Neutronics, Pfeiffer Vacuum Technologies) in the region of Central Europe to subcontract development of neutron scattering instrument components and the needed technologies. This is expected to keep employment in the region as well as create new knowledge for these companies and thus to improve their competitiveness. The knowledge gained inside JCNS may result into the creation of spin-off companies in the areas of neutron detector technology, which have a commercial value in the fields of scientific neutron detectors and detectors for various kinds of radiation in medical application. JCNS already has a strategic plan for exploiting development regarding scintillation detector technology. With BrightnESS, JCNS will establish a direct contact with strategic partners ESS and LLB for the development of roadmaps in the field of neutron scattering instrumentation.

BNC BNC-Wigner has long tradition in working with industrial companies. In the past 10 years over 25 companies of various size and profile, but mostly SMEs were involved in technology transfer related to neutron methodical developments. In particular, the sole engineering company (HNF Technologies Ltd) known to be specialised in cold moderators has been created as a spin-off activity of the cold source projects at BRR. BNC-Wigner intends to make involve several other companies in the construction of moderators and related equipment at ESS and BRR and this will boost activity at the highly specialised expert SMEs but a number of other companies will also be involved in complementary deliveries by outsourcing: in advanced cryo-technology, vacuum techniques, mechanical engineering and welding in application of fine metallurgy products also for example relating to neutron beam extraction systems. MIRROTRON Ltd in Budapest produces components for neutron optics – it will be involved in the realisation of the ESS neutron beam extraction systems and also potentially in further similar projects as a follow-up of the novel moderator developments.

Elettra Through its ILO, Elettra will further involve private research centres and SME further in the development of state-of-the-art equipment and expertise in the field of power supplies, magnets, accelerator equipment and neutron science equipment. This is expected to further



Partner Exploitation plan increase the entire range of skills, technological capabilities and know-how and therefore positive competitiveness of the market and the creation of technology hubs at a European level. Currently the knowledge available to private companies, other Synchrotron Facilities and Research Laboratories has been increased by: x the recent construction of FERMI, the new FEL source set-up in the last years x the constants upgrades of Elettra the collaboration for the developments of specific instrumentation

INFN The Regional Hub in South-East region may have a relevant market impact as it may encourage to strengthen the networking of SME to fulfil the requirements of ESFRI projects. In particular, a large part of the activities in the field of advanced technologies is carried out by companies which can boost their potentiality if they consider the involvement in research infrastructures as a pillar of their strategy and not as an opportunity lasting one or two years. The economic exploitation of these initiatives may be remarkable if the coordination is achieved with the aim to overcome any bottleneck, particularly those deriving by incompleteness of the industrial environment. This incompleteness may be covered sometimes by the Research Institutions involved with the Research Infrastructures, and their ability to provide QA/QC to reinforce the framework may be managed by the Regional Hub.

TUD TUD is already strongly involved in developing instruments for ESS. However, the Netherlands is not a full ESS Partner, yet. This means that, at this moment, it is not possible to have a clear indication which companies will be involved in the in-kind contributions to ESS. Nevertheless, at the ESS Industry Day in February 2014 around 100 persons were present, mainly from SME’s. At this meeting Dutch companies showed their competences to ESS and to other companies, including SME’s like Demaco (cryogenics), HIT (remote handling) and Amsterdam Scientific Instruments (neutron detectors) and larger companies like Imtech (power-supply systems), Grontmij (building) and VDL-ETG (large precise machining and mechanical systems). A strong Dutch network of BigScience ILO’s is very helpful in making connections between high-tech companies in different Big Science experiments and very different expertise. Participating in ESS should result in creating many new jobs in the Dutch high-tech industry and institutes. Furthermore, Dutch companies will gain experience to be in the front line for obtaining other Big Science and more commercial contracts resulting in many more new jobs.

ESS Bilbao ESS Bilbao has a strong interaction with SME, in particular in the area of the Basque Country. Actually, ESS Bilbao was the catalyser of the "Asociación de Industrias de la Ciencia", created only a few years ago in collaboration with Technological Centres in the Basque Country (as TECNALIA). The aim of this association in to improved the capabilities and to disseminate information about the opportunities related to Research Infrastructures, in order to increase the participation of SME in the different tendering process. ESS Bilbao host the Advanced Welding Facility, which is open to all the companies, for the development of specific and specialised welding techniques (either big size elements and very specific materials, as Nb, W...). Also our effort in new types of Scintillator Neutron Detectors (in collaboration with ISIS, UK) open the possibility to create a new SME, called SCIENTIFICA. The accelerator technologies always demand new and better performance for the High Power Supply (Modulators). Some elements of the Modulators contain cooling/insulator oils, which could be very harming for the environment and clearly non eco-friendly. ESS Bilbao and JEMA (SME in the area) develop a complete new High Power Modulator oil-free based on solid insulators, which is under testing in SNS (Oak Ridge, USA). ESS Bilbao is developing a new strategic project for the construction of a Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) designed by ESS Bilbao and under construction in collaboration with the local industry. The ESS Bilbao strategy is to develop long term collaboration ties with al least one SME on the different key technologies relevant to ESS. For instance, fine mechanics, high power supply, neutron detectors, and magnets design, vacuum and welding technologies. This concept goes belong the schema of a call for tenders, for a particular contract. The strategy is to develop a join vision between the Research Infrastructure and the SME tissue to be able to become more efficient and responsive, as well as for keep the expertise and the training of new technical peoples (engineers and technicians). Our participation in BrightnESS will open the possibility to have access to the knowledge



Partner Exploitation plan already available in the different partners and will be a step forward to improve our knowledge curve in a fast and efficient way. From a different point of view, all the new capacities develop in ESS Bilbao will be available for the ESS projects increasing the competitiveness and efficiency of the European system.

LU LU will involve SMEs like ARKTIS, who provides testing services. LU has been involved on discussions in the context of HORIZON 2020, which included the Danish and Swedish governments, as well as several SMEs, universities and research centres across various disciplines. LU is also committed to fostering new generations of physicists.

MiUN MiUN can be involved in exploitation activities through spin-off companies, technology transfer through collaborative research or through open innovation activities. For exploitation activities in this project MiUN intends to interact with: - MidDec Scandinavia AB concerning development of detector systems - Sitek Electro Optics AB concerning processing of detector modules - NOTE AB concerning production and assembly An international market for high resolution neutron detectors is expected to open up as a result of the BrightnESS project.

PSI PSI has a number of current upgrade efforts directly relevant to very similar topics for ESS. In particular, PSI is involved in four instruments selected among the first for early installation at ESS. The relevant activities entail close and manifold cooperation with diverse local and global industrial suppliers of specialised equipment and services. As an important part of the BrightnESS project this network of strategic partners will gain additional experience and qualification, and the connections will be further stabilised and extended. On a medium term time scale, PSI is working on the implementation of a technology hub, a joint enterprise with several companies of various sizes, in the immediate vicinity of the institute as part of a national Swiss initiative aimed at strengthening high tech industry.

STFC STFC has well-developed mechanisms for the encouragement of corporate involvement, including SMEs, within large-scale science projects. STFC has a department dedicated to the enabling UK companies to respond to opportunities created by large scale science projects (including CERN, ILL, ESRF, etc), including mechanisms for notifying companies of tender opportunities. In December 2014 STFC held an open meeting for UK companies to learn about the ESS project and the opportunities that it will provide for corporate involvement, and this was attended by around 100 representatives from UK companies including SMEs. BrightnESS will enable the establishment of a UK project office dedicated to the UK’s IKC to the ESS and the management of this. This office will have responsibility for ensuring that UK companies are fully able to exploit the opportunities for corporate involvement, which the ESS will provide. At the other end of industrial involvement, ISIS has a pioneering access mechanism to enable industry to make use of its neutron and muon beams. This access mechanism was developed in partnership with industry, and provides a low-risk, confidential method by which industry can benefit from the neutron technique and the expertise of ISIS scientists. Over 20 companies have made use of this scheme within the past 3 years, from large multi-nationals to SMEs.

CERN CERN, being an International Organisation, will involve SMEs from the entire Europe. The development of gaseous detectors and related electronics will be the main focus of CERN, while their production will be outsourced. The developments of the imaging electronics will be exploited in other fields, such as medical imaging and homeland security projects. The R&D on the detectors will certainly result in the spread of the technology for dosimetry and radiation protection applications. The overall progress on detector and electronics may also result in spin-off companies with products for highly specialised markets.



Partner Exploitation plan DTU DTU will contribute with expertise and experience in tech transfer in general and specific

knowledge on the interplay between large scale facilities – in particular ESS – and industry. Continuing education modules developed at DTU on innovation and tech transfer will be offered in this project to disseminate knowledge to the Technology Transfer Office at ESS to be developed in this work package. Furthermore, training seminars will be organised by professionals from DTU and external experts.

2.1.3.2 Market impact on neutron detectors, moderators and ESS data management A) Market impact of detectors In terms of the ESS instruments, the detector developments enable these instruments to achieve their ambitious goal of at least an order of magnitude better performance than existing neutron instruments. At least 6 early ESS instruments are addressed by the developments outlined here, and several more indirectly. Therefore this will have a direct scientific impact in all key early science areas and big scientific challenges, which can be tackled by ESS. As well as benefitting ESS instruments, other neutron scattering facilities will benefit directly from these developments, e.g. the ILL, the other ESFRI neutron facility, benefits from the collaboration as the developments are synergistic with many of the goals of the “Endurance” instrument enhancement programme there. As the developments will be freely published, open, and shared freely, all European Neutron Institutes will benefit from these developments. As ESS is closely collaborating with all these partners through the In-kind process, these developments will propagate through close networks and be synergetic with developments at other facilities. Such synergies are not limited to the neutron scattering facilities - as detector development is a highly interdisciplinary field. The collaborations are part of these developments. The developments here will also enable improvements in other research disciplines to make improvements. For example, the collaborations here with CERN, MiUN and IEAP, might propagate developments for neutron detection into the high energy physics sphere, x-ray and space applications and environmental detectors. European SME suppliers are a key part of detector realisation; these state of the art developments almost always push the technological possibilities. Therefore, these will be considerable technical gains of SMEs involved in the supply chain realising these developments. Such applications are difficult to predict in advance, but past examples of this from detector development and implementation are the opening up of synthetic diamond manufacture as a detector and electronic material, and a SME benefiting from the requirement of miniaturisation of carbon fibre parts to allow them to open new markets in the medical devices sector. In terms of the developments here, it is possible to imagine these developments enabling new markets for ultra-radio pure Aluminium, enabling developments in advanced sputtering target material recycling of valuable material, coating technologies, and miniaturisation, precision or application of 3D printing to mechanical metallic parts. These new markets can be of considerable value to the SMEs. Lastly, neutron detectors have numerous industrial applications. The market for these is large. Present applications vary from non-destructive testing and tomography, radiation monitoring, container scanning of cargo at ports and airports, security and non-proliferation activities, oil service industry, monitoring steel production. Future applications may include, e.g., non-destructive assay of large infrastructure such as ageing bridges, buildings, etc. All of these applications may benefit from the developments here. B) Market impact of moderators The most important physical key to the enhanced moderator performance is the design of the shape of the moderators in such a way that the beam intensity emitted by the moderators in the direction of the neutron beam ports is un-isotropically enhanced in this direction compared to the other directions that occupy the major part of the slow neutron emission solid angle. This directional preference is engineered based on characteristic inhomogeneities of the slow neutron density profiles inside the moderator vessels (which typically contains 0.5 – 10 litre volume of moderator liquid). The proposed moderator development beam line equipment will allow us to systematically, continuously and flexibly observe and study these inhomogeneities by “camera obscura” pin-hole neutron imaging, in order to validate and improve functional methods for control and optimisation. At present data on such experimental details of moderator operations are scarce, essentially non-existing. The sporadic direct observations of moderators were mostly improvised, temporary and parasitic set-ups with limited capabilities. The purpose designed equipment to be developed and tested at another source before ESS operation



starts will accelerate improved understanding of the finer processes in moderator functionality that provides the basis of the enhanced ESS moderator design, both for more efficient initial ramp up of ESS performance and for preparing the regular change of the radiation damaged moderators during sustained operation. There are several commercial companies who have experience in the design and manufacturing of beam lines for neutron scattering instruments (Mirrotron, Swissneutronics, several nuclear engineering offices in particular around ILL, MLZ, LLB and ISIS, etc.) These beam lines are built for one or more decades of operation without substantial changes, in particular not in the first few meters from the moderators, where the operational and residual activation radiation is the highest. The new need for efficient, quasi-continuous and adjustable imaging observation of the moderator as the experimental object creates a number of new challenges in neutron beam-line engineering design, manufacturing and operation which can be well addressed by working with expert commercial companies already on the market. Neutron moderators at reactor or spallation source are very special devices, thus they relate to a very narrow market. The case for “industrial liaison”, however, is very interesting. The sophisticated technical tasks of building or replacement of a cold moderator at a new or existing neutron facility takes several years to realise a project and the cost of an installation is in the range of 10-20 M€. Nuclear and mechanical engineering, vacuum and cryo-technologies, electronic control, special licensing procedures make this activity very complex. This is usually managed by the neutron source centres themselves: the design and commissioning is performed by the neutron facility, while the components are delivered by subcontracted companies. Only a single engineering company (a SME in Hungary) is known to be specialised for the delivery of complex (and turn-key) cold moderators or the design and partial delivery of components. In the past 15 years this SME was involved in the installation of several cold source projects (e.g. at BRR or the OPAL/Sydney reactor, in China). The business case of this SME shows that the technology transfer even in this very narrow segment of moderators create market driven applications. The construction of novel moderators at ESS and BRR will certainly buster new projects at other neutron source facilities. The technological challenges for the production of more bright cold moderators and the corresponding neutron beam extraction systems will enhance technology transfer in various directions. The above mentioned Hungarian SME might certainly be a beneficiary of this development, but several other specialised companies should profit in outsourcing: e. g. in advanced cryo-technology, vacuum techniques, mechanical engineering and welding in application of fine metallurgy products. Three companies (CH, DE and HU) are known to produce components for neutron optics – they will most probably be involved in the realisation of the ESS neutron beam extraction systems and also potentially in further similar projects as a follow-up of the novel moderator developments. In this case of neutron optics, for example, the many times more intense neutron sources will require high-tech development of radiation resistant materials, extremely high precision in the component dimensions, thus company R&D, fabrication skills, quality management are to be improved and – potentially – manufacturing capacities to be enhanced. C) Market impact of Data Management While there is little commercial value in the software development proposed in the Real Time Data Management for ESS work package these developments can be used by other neutron scattering facilities in Europe. The involvement of the SINQ facility in the development work will certainly ensure its transfer to that facility. However,the ESS-DMSC will ensure that the software is made available to all of the other European neutron scattering facilities as well and will provide help and assistance for them in integrating the software with their own current detectors and software. 2.2 Measures to maximise impact 2.2.1 Dissemination and exploitation of results The Central ESS Project Office will develop a detailed Exploitation Plan in which the ILOs will act as main contact points for local companies in the Partner Countries who may have a need for the kind of materials analyses that ESS can provide. The ILOs as well as the hubs will have the task to watch technology developments for relevance to ESS (construction and operation) as well as to gauge potential trends and application potential of results coming out of ESS research. This will be a continuous task resulting in a periodic six-monthly update by the ILOs to the central project office, which will use new concepts and conclusions for their Exploitation plan update. The updates will be communicated to the Partner Countries (national ministries, national institutes). The Central IKC Coordination Office will – together with the ILOs in each country – monitor that at national level the Exploitation Plan is turned into an Action Plan for the increased uptake of ESS research results as well as a generator for new projects and research requests. The ILOs will ensure that SMEs are well informed through dedicated dissemination activities (for example: presentations at regional Chambers of Commerce).



The exploitation plan will also detail the agreements between the consortium members regarding exploitation issues (i.e. IP ownership) with regard to the technological research objectives in this project. It will mainly reflect procedures for defining and handling the background knowledge and will include the conditions and process by which the consortium will grant licenses outside the consortium to meet the demand from the SME’s and industries in the Partner Countries. It will also cover exploitation restrictions, licensing arrangements and protection of the intellectual property generated within the project. 2.2.1.1 Data management During the lifetime of the BrightnESS project, and in fact for the whole lifetime of the ESS, both during construction and operation, a large number of documents, simulation results, measurement data, analysis results and scientific papers will be generated. This data will be stored in a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system known as CHESS (Collaboration Home for ESS) which is built on the Ennovia package provided by Dassault Systemes. CHESS is structured in a way such that it can be easily accessed both by humans and by software as appropriate and is maintained by the Information Technology (IT) division at ESS. IT has developed a number of project portals for accessing relevant data stored in CHESS and will develop an appropriate project portal for BrightnESS. Although IT will provide the technical infrastructure for this it is the central ESS project office’s responsibility that the PLM data for BrightnESS is available and can be accessed by the organisations delivering or wanting to use the technologies. 2.2.1.2 Knowledge management and protection Publications prepared within BrightnESS will be public to the extent possible. The aim is to make all publications and the data collected publicly available (gold open access, OA), unless this is in conflict with privacy issues or future commercial activities. All the public deliverables will be accessible from the project web site. All scientific results will be published in key scientific journals (details in section 2.2.1). The Consortium agreement (described in more detail in Section 3) will outline the procedures for publication (acknowledgments) and the IKAB will monitor and validate publication requests by project partners. The scientists aiming to publish results from research and development in the framework of BrightnESS will send a one page abstract of the purpose of the article, at least two weeks before the submission deadline. In addition, the full article should be evaluated by the respective Work Package Leader and submitted for reference to the Project Coordinator (PC, see section 3.2.3 on Management Structure). The PT will discuss such documents with the parties directly affected by such publication in order to get approval. Clear guidelines will also be given to all researchers gaining access in the project on how the project and EC funding should be acknowledged in their publications/scientific work. Information regarding the supporting ICT infrastructure will be shared by means of publications with free and immediate online access (gold OA). 2.2.1.3 Project Exit Plan A project exit plan will be developed to ensure that the IKC management system and the structure of Regional Hubs and ILOs remains in place after the BrightnESS project is finished. This is to ensure that the interaction of academic research and commercial scientific research into new and improved materials continues to develop and grow. The individual ILOs are set up and financed by the Member States themselves, meaning that the ILO Network will continue to exist and grow beyond the construction and throughout the operation of ESS. The project exit plan will cover the following areas:

x Insure that all processes/systems are complete and operational with no unacceptable defects x All risk items are closed x Project budget and contracts are closed x Lessons learned summary is complete and results are recorded/shared x For continued operation all colleagues and relevant stakeholders are assigned and trained x All project documents are archived in CHESS

2.2.2 Communication activities In WP6 a detailed communication and dissemination plan will be developed. The aim of the internal communication plan is to ensure that communication between the BrightnESS project partners is optimal. Communication relates to efficient distribution and delivery of project-related documents, reports and minutes. As section of the ESS website devoted to the BrightnESS project will only be accessible to the project members so that information can be quickly shared and organised. The external communication plan will describe how the project will highlight a realistic pathway for the development of ESS into one of the world’s top research facilities and promote the facility to academia, industry and the wider public in terms of its relevance for the development of future generations of products and services as well as scientific knowledge into new disciplines. The overall key-message will be that “ESS is a role model for a truly European



research infrastructure that benefits science and society by effectively uniting talents and skills that drive innovative developments.” The sub-messages to each target group will be refined/modified during the lifetime of the project. A key-element in the communication plan is that message and/or the medium should allow the target groups to deliver feedback to the project. At present, we have identified the following target group categories and how we intend to approach them: Table 2.3. Communication activities Target audience Type of message /

ESS partners will speak at several scientific and business conferences and publish on the project’s scientific research results with the aim of highlighting the direct relevance of ESS to academic scientists and to trigger the interest of R&D industries about using research results and/or entering into collaborative research once the ESS is operational. These events will be national (e.g. the national IKC institute leading with ESS staff attending) and international (e.g. ESS staff leading, together with national institutes collaborating on a particular technology). The target is that every partner will take care of one outreach activity per month. These conferences will not only concern ‘spallation physics’ (e.g. accelerators, detectors oriented particle physics) but also events at spallation-relevant science-disciplines (life sciences, chemistry, electronics etc). Typical thematic conferences and workshops at which the project partners will discuss/present the results of BrightnESS and the ESS project are: NEUTRON

x IEEE Nuclear Science Symposia, 2015 The ILOs will be strengthened in order to be able to deliver presentations at business associations (like Chambers of Commerce, as a relevant meeting venue for SMEs) and build company interest in ESS. The project will also publish scientific results in several peer-reviewed journals and magazines. The following journals will be targeted to achieve at least 16 publications (10 in the field of neutron detectors and 6 in neutron moderators) during the lifetime of the BrightnESS project: x Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics x American Physical Society: Physical Review Letters, Physical Review, and Reviews of Modern Physics x Nature Physics x Science x European Biophysical Journal x EPG Series x Journal of Physics x Journal of Instrumentation As coordinator of the BrightnESS project, ESS will actively engage with current and future ERICs on the use of IKC as a means to develop the cost-intensive infrastructure, and help prospective ERICs – also beyond the lifetime of the BrightnESS project – to implement a working management and tracking structure. The dissemination plan concerns external communication about the project and its results through means that are basically one-directional, e.g. via the website, brochures and other types of printed media. Dissemination activities include: • Dedicated website. The BrightnESS website will be a sub-set of the main ESS website

(http://www.europeanspallationsource.se) with dedicated sections for scientific, industry, general public and education audiences. The site will include project objectives, overview of project status and results thus far, other relevant news and contact opportunities. The focus per target audience will follow the communication plan. The educational pages will be developed to increase awareness of pupils and students about physics and material sciences as a possible future career choice. Special attention will be paid toward involvement of young women in physics in general and spallation-relevant technologies in particular. For example: ESS will open up many new opportunities in cultural heritage research, a field largely dominated by female scientists, thus this activity will bring-in many young women neutron users.

• Brochures and leaflets. These will be used during (scientific) presentations and other forms of communication with target audiences. The dissemination plan will detail the style and form of publications, always ensuring that the contribution made by the European Union to the project is clearly depicted or mentioned in all communications.

3 Implementation The successful implementation of the project will be secured by a well-thought work plan that takes into account the current site construction schedule, the national (decentralised) instrument R&D, procurement requirements, vital ESS research into the new moderator (which sits at the core of the facility and which therefore must be developed as a matter of highest priority) and national institute and company awareness/planning in relation to ESS construction. The 6 Work Packages (WP) have been carefully developed to provide an integrated and interlinked approach to the identified aims and objectives as described in chapter 1. The picture below shows how the WPs are linked and dependent on each other. A short description per WP is given below, but main risks and mitigation actions in the case that certain WP-goals are not achieved, are described in table 3.2b.

Figure 3. PERT chart showing BrightnESS WP-structure

WP1 (Project management) ensures that the consortium of 18 Partners is professionally managed and all reporting deadlines are met. WP2 (Strengthening the In-kind contribution coordination) addresses the specific objectives of community building and In-kind risk management. WP3 (Organisational innovation) supports the transition from a Swedish AB legal structure to formal ERIC governance and the establishment of the technology transfer competence and the capacity building in Public Procurement of Innovation. Both WP2 and 3 are horizontally supported by WP6 (Enlargement of membership, collaboration building and communication), which addresses not only communication and dissemination of results, but also the outreach to future users and other relevant communities, the enlargement of ESS membership as well as the strengthening of the Industry Liaison Office (ILO) Network. This WP corresponds with the specific objectives of community building and industrial participation. The technological development is comprised in WP4 (Innovation of key neutronic technologies: Detectors and Moderators), which aim for the disruptive innovation in terms of the development and integration of neutron detectors and moderators currently needed directly and indirectly for 9 current and future ESS Instruments. WP5 (Real time data management for ESS) is in charge of enabling the live (real time) data processing by means of streaming the technical data from the ESS instruments to subscribers in charge of its processing Below is the detailed Work Plan overview per WP-activity and the project GANTT chart. This is then followed by a detailed description of each WP.

3.1.1 Gantt Chart



3.2 Management structure and procedures 3.2.1 Management structure and procedures In regards to the call text, this project has a clear focus on ESS. Therefore, the management structure and procedures of this project are centralised at ESS, creating an optimal foundation for an efficient and effective management structure. Furthermore, the centralised management structure makes it possible to take advantage of already existing tools and procedures, as well as the in house expertise at ESS and employing them for BrightnESS. The management structure has been set up specifically for the successful execution and management of BrightnESS. As a key component the management structure features a Project Coordinator with extensive experience in both the private and the public sector. The Project Coordinator leads the project management team ensuring the successful implementation of the project and its objectives. The management structure will also be established in the Grant Agreement with the Commission as well as in the Consortium Agreement, to be finalised during the contract negotiations. The overall project management structure is presented in the chart below.

Figure 7. BrightnESS Management Structure

The project consists of the following management and advisory bodies, described further in separate sections: 1. General Assembly (GA) 2. Project Coordinator (PC) and Project Coordination Team (PCT) 3. Steering Board (StB) 4. Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) 5. In-kind Review Committee (IKRC)

3.2.2 General Assembly The main decision making body of the consortium will be the General Assembly. The Assembly will be responsible for monitoring the project implementation and determining the strategy and direction of the project. The Assembly will be made up of one representative from each partner and will meet at least once a year in person with the possibility of a



videoconference if need be to monitor the project progress. It will act as the central control body making decisions about the direction of the project and ensuring best practice. The General Assembly will gather for a kick off meeting and subsequently once per year for the duration of the project. The General Assembly will be responsible for the following tasks: Approval of major strategic decisions Approval of the long-term detailed work programmes, as implemented during the progress of this project Approval of the technical and the financial reports for the European Commission Approval of any new partners entering into the EU contract and the Consortium Agreement Agreeing upon the proposed budget allocation in accordance with the EU contract and proposing reallocations of any

partner budgets Making proposals to the project partners for any review and/or amendment of the terms in the EU contract 3.2.3 The Project Coordinator (PC) and Project Coordination Team (PCT) Ute Gunsenheimer will be the Project Coordinator for BrightnESS. Gunsenheimer, Head of External Relations and EU Projects Group, has more than 15 years of experience in managing EU wide communication activities on behalf of EU institutions. She was Managing Director of Media Consulta International Holding AG, a Berlin based communications agency with the European Commission being its key account. At ESS, Ms Gunsenheimer is in charge of External Relations and EU Projects Group, which is responsible for managing all stakeholder, partner and industry relations at ESS, including the communication with the corresponding ministries in the ESS Partner Countries This also includes communication with key scientific players, national business associations or chambers of commerce, European wide organisations and networks, such as HEPTech and Science Link, and the ESS Industrial Liaison Office Network (ILO) along with specialised media. The Project Coordinator handles the overall coordination and management of the project activities and maintains the regular contact with all Work Package leaders, project partners and the European Commission. This includes the coordination and compilation of all financial and administrative reporting. The Project Coordinator will ensure the timely delivery of the project deliverables and exploitation and dissemination of the results. The Project Coordinator will also be the direct point of contact to the European Commission and represent the project. The Project Coordinator will be supported by a Project Coordination Team, which will assist the Project Coordinator in all daily activities of the project, in particular in the monitoring and reporting of the project, communication with all Work Package leaders and project partners. The Project Coordination Team will consist of the Project Coordinator and a Project Manager. The Project Manager will support all project management activities and project planning in the dedicated project planning and reporting software. Furthermore the team will be in charge of organising all project related meetings, including the regular General Assembly and Advisory Boards meetings. Additional tasks and responsibilities of the PC include: negotiating the project with the Commission, including finalization of the Consortium Agreement, ensuring that contractual obligations are fulfilled and the scheduled deliverables of project produced (including the

annual progress and financial reporting to the Commission), setting up the administrative procedures for the project and for the reporting to the Commission, chairing the biannual meeting of the StB and preparing the Minutes, organising the GA meeting, organising meetings with the ESS SAC and ESS IKRC, implementing the decisions of the StB, facilitating project implementation in general; monitor progress and prepare contingency plans if necessary, making daily decisions required for the project implementation, reporting to, and maintaining contact with, the Commission at the required frequency, monitoring dissemination of results toward different target groups, filing of patents and other exploitation.

3.2.3.1 Project coordination with other ERICs

In the framework of BrightnESS, the ESS will establish itself as one of the first large-scale research infrastructures to assume the ERIC legal form. Given the novelty of the approach, crosspollination between current and future ERICs is mandatory for a proper global implementation. It will be the task of the project coordinator to actively engage with authorised representatives of current and future ERICs on the use of IKC as a means to develop the cost-intensive multinational co-innovation scheme. For that, a virtual external board will be formed by the coordinator at the beginning of



the project with such representative members of the other ERICs (one per ERIC). Such Board will meet yearly and will be constantly updated with representative of new ERICs. 3.2.4 Steering Board (StB) The Steering Board is made up of all WP leaders and will be responsible for the day-to-day working level of the project. The StB will be in charge of the project strategy, monitoring the project progress, monitoring the project budget, communication strategies and general direction of the project. The StB will meet twice a year and if necessary hold further meetings via teleconference. For the StB to reach decisions a general consensus must be reached. If this is not possible a majority vote may be held to reach a final decision on how to proceed. Work Package Leaders (WPL) This project consists of 6 WPs. Each WP package will have a dedicated WP Leader who will be responsible for overseeing all progress and technical activities of the WP on a daily basis. WP6 will be co-lead by ESS and DTI sharing rights and responsibilities for the WP. The WP Leaders will represent the WP in the StB and will present status updates and progress of the individual WP. The WP Leader will also be responsible for delivering the reports for their respective WP. Each WP Leader is an expert in their respective field and will have a proven track record in their specific tasks. The WP will also be responsible for the communication within their WP, project partners and the StB. Most WP Leaders (except for WP 6) are associated with ESS due to the fact that this call places a focus on ESS. This simplifies organisational and logistic procedures, as there is a natural base for the project, which is the ESS Headquarters. As a result meetings, communications and administration will be very efficient from an organisational and financial aspect, as the procedures can be streamlined internally and less travel is necessary for the StB to meet. Additional responsibilities of WPL include:

x Design of work programme for their WP x Assignment of task to participants of their WP x Progress monitoring of milestones and expected outcomes of the WP x Quality control of review activities within the WP x Preparation of the six monthly interim and annual consolidation reports of their WP x Organisation of WP meetings to ensure proper execution of their WP work programme x Stimulation of interaction with other WP’s, together with the PC x Preparation of the WP meeting minutes and their distribution

3.2.5 Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) BrightnESS is fully aligned with the overall ESS project and will therefore consult the already established ESS Science Advisory Committee (SAC) to ensure that BrightnESS is appropriately advised on strategic matters regarding the scientific scope and direction of the project. If necessary, they will advise about both long-term and short-term scientific strategies of the project, taking new developments and insights into account. The ESS SAC meets four times a year and BrightnESS will align a meeting to consult on the project two times a year. The SAC independently assesses the scientific goals and the overall layout, and advises on the scientific objectives, of ESS. The SAC is composed of potential users from the science communities that will use ESS neutron beams and scientists with expertise in neutron scattering methods, and represents the user community at large. 3.2.6 In-kind Review Committee (IKRC) BrightnESS is fully aligned with the overall ESS project and will therefore consult the already established ESS In-kind Review Committee (IKRC) to ensure that BrightnESS is appropriately advised on strategic matters regarding scope and direction of all matters related to In-kind. The ESS IKRC meets four times a year and BrightnESS will align a meeting to consult on the project two times a year. The IKRC consists of delegates from the ESS Member Countries and oversees all IKC to ESS, including the corresponding implementation of rules and legal framework for the agreement, implementation and final accreditation of IKC. The IKRC assesses the deliverables of the Work Packages as defined in the planned agreements and evaluates whether those are in line with the ESS Programme Plan. The Committee also reviews issues related to the implementation of IKC and recommends actions to address any required changes that could affect the overall cost, scope, or schedule of the ESS project.



3.2.7 Management Procedures A) Management of information exchange The PC is responsible for the general information exchange between the different bodies of the project and all the project partners. This includes project status updates, technical issues, planning and other relevant information about the project. Relevant information may concern that of project meetings, project reports among others. The dedicated project website will be accessible for all partners with information that is not public such as project results, reports, minutes of meetings, project documentation and further relevant news. The website may also be used as a means to disseminate or submit information to and from the project. Primarily, project meetings will serve as a basis for the exchange of information The following meetings and reports are foreseen: Overview of meetings Responsible body Frequency Participants Purpose of the meeting

B) Management of Intellectual Property (IP) and publications Intellectual Property Rights, Access Right, Confidentiality, Liability and Indemnification will be governed by the relevant stipulations of in the ESS In-kind Agreement Chapter 13 and defined in the Grant Agreement and addressed in the CA. The provisions will be in accordance with EU regulations and to the ESS legal agreements, and ESS the In-kind Agreements. As a general rule, the ESS IP policy is based the following principles:

x Open source and open access x Freedom to operate x Promotion of publications, but with a certain degree of control.

The ESS governance approved IP policy for In-kind is further detailed in the “In-Kind Agreement template” and “Framework for handling In-kind Contributions” documents (available in the “In-kind Document Download” section of the ESS public website). The PCT will oversee all activities related to IP policy and publications. All foreground knowledge produced during the project will be assessed by the PCT in terms of need for IP protection before it is further disseminated. For that purpose, all results presented in reports or at project meetings will be deemed confidential to the consortium and all its employees and (sub)contractors (including the Commission) until it is either properly protected or



decided to be free for public dissemination by the partners(s) that own the result and by the PCT. The PCT, through consultation with the owning party, and other relevant bodies will decide, if it is necessary, to make a division between the parts of the reports that are confidential and those that are open to the public. All other responsibilities and roles of the different participants will be described in the Consortium Agreement (CA). C) Decision-making structures The PC has the final responsibility for project management decisions. Daily progress decisions and issues are communicated to the PCT and all participants will be informed, where necessary, by email, fax or phone. The more major day-to-day issues will be discussed in PCT meetings and the major strategic decisions to determine the long-term strategy and direction of the BrightnESS project will be prepared by the PCT and agreed upon in the annual GA meeting. The PC will be responsible for the agendas for the PCT and GA meetings and send these to the PCT and GA members two weeks in advance of the relevant meeting. All members may request to add an issue on the agenda until two days before the meeting and minutes will be made available to all participants via the WPL, the website or email. An extra PCT or GA meeting will be organised in case issues requiring urgent consideration come up. During meetings of this project (this counts for all meetings of the consortium but most likely counting for PCT and GA) decisions will be taken by consensus, but where this is not feasible, the principle of majority voting will apply. If a matter cannot be resolved by majority voting, the chairman will have the casting vote (in most cases the PC) in such case the PC will first gain advice from the EC scientific officer. All decisions in the project must be in line with overall decisions by the ESS Executive Management Team in as far as it concerns the construction and the research that is taking place at ESS. D) Serious disputes As a general rule, the Consortium will follow a collaborative approach for avoiding conflicts. In the unlikely case that serious disputes should arise among project Partners, conflict resolution procedures will be initiated whereby the PC will advise the GA to meet in an emergency session to discuss the conflict and reach a resolution by majority vote. The Consortium believes that any conflicts should be resolved as speedily as possible so that, within 21 days of notification by the PC of the requirement for an emergency procedure, the GA will meet in session. The quorum threshold for this meeting is set at 90%. The meeting will attempt to achieve full consensus on the resolution of the issue but, failing this, a majority vote will be taken to determine what resolution should be implemented. The PC is an advisor to the GA and therefore has no vote. In circumstances of persistent and serious conflict arising out of continuation of the project, the GA will instruct the PC to involve the EU project officer. In addition, the GA may seek external advice followed by a review of the situation, after which a collective decision in should be reached to implement a final remedy for the issues involved. In the most serious cases arbitration may lead to proceedings or a court. Risks Associated with In-kind Contributions The ESS has established a Risk Management Policy and Risk Management Processes that guides risk management for the whole ESS lifecycle. The IKC related risks have to be managed according to the overall Risk Management procedure. To do that successfully, all relevant stakeholders, including the projects and the Partners should be committed to address risk management proactively and consistently throughout the project. The top 10 global risks currently identified in the ESS Project were already listed in section 1.3. In particular, IKCs have been identified as a source of great risk to the project due to the uncertainty associated with cooperation among several hundred partners in 17 countries. These partners are heterogeneous, including large and established laboratories, university departments, and industrial partners. The experience constructing large-scale international infrastructure ranges from being a former lead institution, to having never participated before. In some countries, there are no institutions with previous experience, and they are joining precisely to gain that experience. Much of the technical work is also subject to funding and political vagaries. 3.3 Consortium as a whole BrightnESS brings together 18 Partners from all over Europe to support the smooth implementation of ESS. The consortium is made up of organisations and universities from Research and Technology achieving a balance between science and technology. With partners from 11 European countries (Sweden, Denmark, France, Spain, Germany, Hungary, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Italy and The Netherlands), BrightnESS ensures not just a geographical coverage but takes into account different European standards, requirements, circumstances and behaviours. The diversity in partners enables a broad network for the exchange of best practices and enhances mobility of staff and knowledge. The consortium facilitates the best practices and policies to be developed, and ensures the widespread implementation through each partner’s individual network.



The two key objectives to be met with this proposal are reflected in and supported by the partner selection. In terms of the non-scientific aim, this combination of partners supports a smooth transition from the initial planning stages to the implementation stage, construction stage and subsequent operation of ESS. The partners represent established research organisations from countries with large neutron and material science communities, capturing the know-how and expertise necessary for the implementation of ESS. In terms of the scientific objectives the consortium consists of possible ESS IKC partners, while also deliberately involving organisations beyond the IKC Partner institutions. This concerns organisations from the host countries Sweden and Denmark that cannot contribute to ESS through In-kind. International Research Organisations such as ILL and CERN reinforce the consortium with their cutting edge technology developments in the field of particle detection. Both institutions cannot contribute In-kind, just as the above-mentioned ESS Host Countries. Table 3.3: Overview of partner expertise and roles in the project

Professor Richard Hall-Wilton is the leader for Work Packahge 4: Innovation of key neutronic technologies: Detectors and Moderators. Dr. Scott KOLYA (m) is a senior engineer at ESS with physicist training. After being recruited by his supervisor while building detectors as a summer student at CERN, he completed a PhD in Particle Physics. As a student he was responsible for operating readout systems, data visualization and offline processing, and these technical interests led to a permanent post-Doc position working on readout systems for the H1 experiment at HERA, where he was personally responsible for about 1/3 of the experimental readout and part of the senior operations team. His subsequent work in Particle Physics experiments has involved very high performance readout and trigger systems implemented in FPGAs and fast loop dedicated processors. He has worked on systems at SLAC, Fermilab, CERN and DESY. He led his university technology team and was responsible innovative detector designs, one of which has been commercialized for security screening applications. His experience ranges from traditional gas chambers to cutting edge 3D and MAPS silicon detector technology. In 2012 he joined ESS as a full time employee to lead readout development for ESS neutron detectors. Dr. Carina HÖGLUND (f) earned her Master of Science degree in applied physics and electrical engineering from Linköping University in 2005, followed by a PhD in Material Science and Thin Film Physics from the same University in 2010. After her dissertation, she was and remains employed as a researcher in neutron detection at the European Spallation Source, based in Linköping. The main task was to develop coatings of boron carbide using physical vapor deposition for applications in neutron detection. This very successful work quickly resulted in high quality films, a patent that was granted in 2011, and it gave her the Chester Carlson research award in 2014. Her films are already in use by about 10 detector research groups across Europe, with many more enquiries, and they are the reference coatings nowadays. In Summer 2014 the ESS set up a dedicated workshop in Linköping for the industrial scale production of these coatings at a competitive cost. In parallel, the development work has continued and she has, for instance, been working on the development of chemical vapor deposition processes for B4C thin films, and the growth of Gd-containing compounds. Dr. Kalliopi KANAKI (f) studied physics at the National Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece. During her diploma she was involved with the characterization of crystal scintillators, gamma spectroscopy and detector shielding. She continued to complete a PhD at the TU-Dresden, Germany, during which Dr. Kanaki gained experienced in detector installation, commissioning and ageing, as well as with simulations of gaseous detectors using GARFIELD and commercial FEA software. In addition she did an analysis of physics data at TU-Dresden. After successfully defending her PhD thesis Dr. Kanaki moved to the University of Bergen, Norway, for the ALICE@CERN experiment. During this period she worked for the High Level Trigger



1 - The European Spallation Source group (HLT), implementing software for both the online system and its offline components. She was responsible for the quality assessment of the HLT central barrel data, which included the development and integration of the respective code, as well as the study of the influence of the TPC calibration data on the online reconstruction. As an employee at ESS Dr. Kanaki is and has been involved in a variety of tasks such as detector prototyping, analytical calculations and simulations of detector properties and the development of mathematical algorithms for improving signal to background ratio in future ESS instruments. Dorothea PFEIFFER (f) is employed as a senior instrumentation engineer at ESS with many years of experience in the operation of accelerator devices, beam instrumentation and detectors, as well as in project management and implementation. For five years she worked as the shift supervisor in accelerator operations at GSI (Germany), the leading research laboratory in the world for heavy ion physics. There she was responsible for running various particle accelerators to deliver high intensity/high quality ion beam with the requested properties for physics experiments. Due to her excellent software development skills she was deployed to CERN to work on FESA 3, the CERN particle accelerator control system, where she designed and implemented the system, adapting the framework to the GSI specific environment and requirements. As a member of the CMS collaboration, at the University of Canterbury/New Zealand, she was responsible for the Medipix project of CMS (one of the large multi-purpose experiments at the LHC) and published a study on mixed field radiation measurements in the CMS cavern with Medipix-MXR pixel detectors. Later, she was awarded a prestigious CERN fellowship during which she served as project engineer for the new mixed-field irradiation facility GIF++ in the CERN North Area. Additionally as liaison engineer between the LHC machine and the LHC forward detector experiments, she planned and organized the work and interventions during technical stops of the accelerator. She was also responsible for planning and synchronization aspects and upgrade program of the TOTEM experiment (Total elastic and diffractive cross-section measurement) at CERN Long Shutdown 1 (LSl). As of September 2013 she is employed by ESS as a detector engineer/physicist. She has been deployed to CERN to work in the Detector Technology group of the Physics Department, where she has joined the activities of the Gas Detectors R&D Lab. The research aim is to find detector technologies that can replace He3 detectors for the detection of thermal and cold neutrons, in particular, the study of various solid thin-layer neutron converters (in particular 10B4C and Gadolinium) and converter geometries in combination with Micro Pattern Gas Detectors like GEMs and Micromegas. Dr. Anton KHAPLANOV (m) defended his PhD in experimental nuclear physics at the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm and has worked as a detector researcher at the ESS for the past 4 years, including a 3-year placement at the ILL, Grenoble. He now continues this research at ESS, Lund, participating in construction and testing of detectors and the facilities required for the task. Dr. Khaplanov’s work has focused on radiation detectors and their applications. During his PhD, he investigated novel data analysis methods for detection of gamma-rays in nuclear structure experiments using pulse shape analysis in order to enhance position resolution and imaging capabilities of segmented germanium detectors. His work included design of reconstruction algorithms and experimental and simulated tests of their performance. He has also participated in nuclear structure experiments on properties of nuclei far from stability, and has performed experiments with other semiconductor and scintillator detectors. Currently employed at ESS, Dr. Khaplanov has worked on boron-10 detectors as part of the collaboration between ESS and ILL. This work is crucial for the construction of large-area detectors required for Time-of-Flight spectrometers at ESS. At the ILL, he was involved in design, assembly and characterisation of boron-10 detectors. The stay at the ILL was further beneficial as experience with neutron scattering techniques. The most recent work includes the assembly and delivery of the detector elements for the large, 2.4m2, Multi-Grid prototype - the concluding stage in the CHISP project for He3

Dr. Francesco PISCITELLI (m) is a postdoc expert in thermal neutron detectors at the Detector Group of ESS. He has specialised in alternative technologies to face the He-3 shortage. Between 2011 and 2014, he was based at ILL where he carried out his PhD in Physics from the University of Perugia, Italy. Previously, he carried out his Master degree in Physics at ILL with the Università di Roma Tor Vergata, Italy. During his masters thesis he worked on a Camera Anger type neutron detector for high spatial resolution applications. During the past years he has dedicated his work to one of the major current issues in neutron detection: alternative solutions to the scarce He-3. He tackled both the problem of He-3 replacement for large area applications and the performance enhancements for small area high resolution and high rate detectors. He has built and tested several detectors based on B-10 converter layers. He developed an analytical model to increase the B-10-based detector performances. He also helped to quantify the neutron to γ-ray discrimination, and contributed with measurements and data analysis to the quantification of the γ-ray sensitivity of B-10-based detectors to demonstrate the reliability of this new technology.

7 - FORSCHUNGSZENTRUM JULICH GMBH General description Forschungszentrum Jülich pursues cutting-edge interdisciplinary research addressing

the pressing issues of the present. With its competence in materials science and simulation, and its expertise in physics, nanotechnology and information technology, as well as in the biosciences and brain research. Forschungszentrum Jülich is developing the basis for the key technologies of tomorrow. In this way, they help to solve the grand challenges of our society in the fields of energy and the environment, health, and information technology. Forschungszentrum Jülich is also exploring new avenues in strategic partnerships with universities, research institutions and industry in Germany and abroad. With more than 5,000 employees, as a member of the Helmholtz Association – is one of the large interdisciplinary research centres in Europe.

The Jülich Centre for Neutron Science (JCNS), an institute of the Forschungszentrum Jülich, operates instruments for neutron research at leading international neutron sources. The JCNS focuses construction and operation efforts of these instruments at the Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ, formerly FRMII, Munich, Germany) as well as at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL, Grenoble, France) and at the Spallation Neutron Source SNS (Oak Ridge, USA). Over the course of time, a number of collaborations have been established, which are now in operation between the Forschungszentrum Jülich / JCNS and its partners. Most importantly in light of this project are those between the JCNS and the Technical University of Munich in the framework of the MLZ as well as the SNS. In both cases the JCNS delivered large-scale neutron scattering instruments, which are now continuously and successfully operated and managed by JCNS. Regarding the ESS the JCNS already performed a major effort to propose new instruments at the ESS, two of which are already accepted as in-kind contributions. In the last 4 years, Forschungszentrum Jülich was coordinator for the German in-kind contribution to the Design-Update Phase of the European Spallation Source performed by seven research centres in Germany. Thus, the profile of the Forschungszentrum Jülich and JCNS, as the institute that participates in this project, are excellently suited to perform the management tasks regarding the effective regional quality control of in-kind contributions to the ESS, acting as a local contact for the ESS and to supervise the timely and qualitative delivery of the respective in-kind contributions in the central regional hub as designated by the work package 2.

researchers with academic degree is one of the largest research organization in Hungary comprising about 45 research groups of various profile from solid state physics through laser optics, X-ray scattering, particle physics to biophysics. In 1992 Wigner was one of the co-founders of the Budapest Neutron Centre (BNC), which is a consortium of laboratories of Wigner and Centre for Energy Research of HAS (MTA EK), operating and utilizing the neutron beam facilities at the Budapest Research Reactor (BRR). This is one of the key research infrastructures (RI) and with its 16 experimental stations the largest coherent instrument suite in Hungary. All the above mentioned institutes and research infrastructures are operating under the umbrella of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (HAS). In December 2014 BNC was classified as a “Strategic Research Infrastructure” of the national RI Roadmap. BNC member institutes (Wigner and MTA EK) have been also classified as “EU Centres of Excellence”. The executing unit in the current proposal is BNC-Wigner’s Neutron Spectroscopy Department (NSO), which operates 9 out of the 16 BNC instruments (small angle scattering spectrometers, diffracto-meters, reflectometers, three-axis spectrometers). Typically 50-70 experiments/year are performed and about the same number of publications is achieved in this field. Besides topical scientific research, NSO has been always active in training: lectures and practical work within the frame of university BSC and MSC programmes, leading PhD thesis work, organising the CETS yearly international school including hands-on training on neutron scattering instruments. Instrument construction activity has also long traditions; the overwhelming part of BNC spectrometers as well as the cold moderator and guide system were created by the local staff. In particular, a highly innovative technical approach was adopted to construct the liquid hydrogen cold source resulting in excellent parameters in terms of neutron flux and safety conditions; at the same time this solution turned out to be a very cost-efficient realisation. This BRR cold source has been very reliably operated in the past 15 years. Budapest Research Reactor (BRR) is one of the largest research infrastructures in Central Europe. After a major refurbishment in 1993, the reactor is now expected to be operated by 2023. From early 2012 only 20% enriched fuel is used. At 10 MW power the reactor provides a maximum thermal neutron flux of 2.2x1014 n/cm2s in the Be-reflector. The reactor has 10 horizontal beam tubes, one of the tangential beam tubes is equipped by a H2 cold source. Three guides transport neutrons to the measurement sites in the guide hall. The neutron guides were upgraded for fully coated with supermirror in 2007. The guide system has a bi-spectral nature, i.e. both thermal and/or cold spectra are available. A thermal guide was installed in 2004 for a high resolution TOF diffractometer. The reactor is operated in 10 days cycles, 14-16 cycles/year. Budapest Neutron Centre (BNC) offers open access to 16 experimental stations including instruments on thermal and cold neutron beams. The reactor is operated 150 days per year, call for proposals are open twice a year; experimental proposals are evaluated by an international selection panel. BNC governance is helped by an International Scientific Advisory Council. BNC-Wigner has been involved in many international projects like IAEA technical development tasks, EU FP projects such as NMI3, CHARISMA, etc. Instrumentation development and technology transfer (industrial applications) have been always in the focus of its activity. BNC-Wigner runs a yearly training school in neutron scattering. General responsibility for BNC-Wigner activities, as well as special responsibilities for sub-tasks of Task 4.5: Moderator testing and development beamline as follows: (1) Experimental verification of low dimensional moderator concept, (2) Contribution to engineering design and implementation of low dimensional moderator at ESS and BRR;



8 - MAGYAR TUDOMANYOS AKADEMIA WIGNER FIZIKAI KUTATOKOZPONT, Neutron Spectroscopy Department (3) BRR will be the first neutron facility that will operate a low dimensional moderator. BNC-Wigner will be also responsible for the development of the design and construction of the setup for monitoring the moderator brightness and beam take-off quality as well as for the design of test beamline at ESS. Experimental testing of test beamlines at BRR is also a task of BNC-Wigner.

research organisation whose purpose is to operate the world's largest particle physics laboratory.


Filippo RESNATI (m) is a particle physicist at CERN with several years of experience in the development of particle detectors. He obtained his Ph.D. at ETH Zurich, where he developed a novel detector based on the liquid argon Time Projection Chamber with signal amplification capabilities provided by Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detectors. From the concept to the realisation and operation, he simulated, designed, built and operated the first detector prototype, which is considered the proof of principle of the new technology. The size scalability of the design was proven with a second detector. This concept is the baseline for LBNO, the European effort towards a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. Filippo was deeply involved in ArDM, the first ton-scale liquid argon detector for direct Dark Matter search presently in operation at Canfranc Underground Laboratory, for which he had a leading role in the commissioning phases at CERN, in the design of the trigger and in the procurement of the electronics. At ETH Zurich Filippo held a postdoc position focused on the development of a gamma spectrometer based on pressurised xenon scintillators in the context of MODES-SNM, an FP7 funded project for homeland security. The detector, sturdier than a crystal scintillator, is suitable for the operation in motion and was successfully used in the detector suite of MODES-SNM. In 2014, Mr. Resnati joined the PH-DT-DD group at CERN as a research fellow. Since then he has been working on the development of Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detectors (MPGD) in the framework of the RD-51 collaboration, the world’s largest community for the development of gaseous detectors. In particular, he leads the R&D efforts in understanding the intrinsic limitations of the MPGDs in terms of particle flux capabilities, detection efficiency and time resolution. The aim is to extend the present detector limitations and meet the more and more demanding requirements set by the upgrade of the LHC experiments. Beyond the high-energy physics, the R&D focuses on making these detectors sensitive to neutrons, and in this context Mr. Resnati collaborates with the European Spallation Source (ESS) in the realisation of a neutron detector based on MPGDs with an unprecedented spatial resolution. This detector will be used for the Neutron Macromolecular Crystallography (NMX), one of the 22 approved ESS instruments. NN. additional resources will be hired specifically for the project
