Hi Alan,
Accelerator-driven neutron sources are a lot cheaper than spallation
sources. Moreover, Figure 54 in the ICONE document shows that the
scientific productivity of neutron sources does not depend on the flux
of the source. And the biggest point might be the return to building new
Glad you are following neutron developments Armel. This document points out
how French science has suffered due to the shutdown of the only national
neutron sources, in Grenoble and Paris. It argues that ESS when it is
finally operational, cannot possibly satisfy the national requirement if

Interesting document about neutrons in French, though the word "Rietveld"appears only once, page 162, the word "poudre" (=powder) is more frequent :https://2fdn.cnrs.fr/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/ICONE-digital.pdf
