What Does SNS Stand For?
SNS stands for Spallation Neutron Source
The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) is a research facility that produces neutrons through the process of spallation, where high-energy protons collide with a target material, typically made of mercury. This unique method allows scientists to generate neutrons for various applications, including materials research, chemistry, and biology. By providing an intense and versatile neutron source, the SNS facilitates cutting-edge studies in fundamental physics and the development of new materials and technologies.
