去年,英国建成了世界上最强的中子源,即应将其摆在实验分子科学和材料科学最前沿的某一机器,并于12月中旬作了首次运行。安装在牛津附近卢瑟福一阿普耳顿实验室的该一散裂中子源(SNS),共计耗费科学和工程研究委员会5千万英磅的资金。事实上该机的设计者从委员会另一个在德尔斯伯利的实验室废弃的尼纳电子加速器上拆取了若干用得上的设备,又从卢瑟福实验室旧的尼姆若德质子加速器那里借用了房屋和别的一些部件。由于经费的限制,他们不得不靠这种拼拼凑凑的办法,来代替修建此一价值有可能超过1亿英磅的机器。
Last year, Britain built the world's strongest source of neutrons, which should be placed on a machine at the forefront of experimental science and materials science, and for the first time in mid-December. This spallation neutron source (SNS), installed at Rutherford-Appleton Laboratory near Oxford, consumed a total of 50 million pounds of funding from the Scientific and Engineering Research Council. In fact, the designer of the aircraft dismantled a number of devices from the Nina Electron Accelerator, which was abolished in the Dellsbury lab, at the Commission, and from the old Nymode Proton from Rutherford Laboratory The accelerator borrowed the house and some other parts there. Due to funding constraints, they had to rely on this patchwork approach instead of building this value may have more than 100 million pounds of machinery.
