Description
The High-Flux Accelerator Driven Neutron Facility (HF-ADNeF) is a user facility located at the University of Birmingham providing ~$10^{11}$ n/s/cm$^{2}$ via the $^{7}$Li$(p,n)$ reaction, giving neutrons up to an energy of 0.9 MeV. Due to the thick target approach, this energy spectrum is broad energy.
The current capabilities of the facility and some use cases will be highlighted as well as a brief discussion of future development plans. These include moving to a deuteron beam which will boost the maximum neutron energy up to $\approx$ 18 MeV to bring the neutron energies into the DT fusion regime.
