TL;DR
FRANZ is a new, highly intense neutron source under development that will significantly advance nuclear astrophysics research by providing the strongest neutron flux in the relevant energy range.
Contribution
This paper introduces FRANZ, a novel neutron source with unprecedented intensity, enabling new experimental opportunities in nuclear astrophysics.
Findings
FRANZ will be about three orders of magnitude more intense than existing sources.
It will operate in the astrophysically relevant neutron energy region.
FRANZ will significantly enhance experimental capabilities in nuclear astrophysics.
Abstract
The "Frankfurter Neutronenquelle am Stern-Gerlach-Zentrum" (FRANZ), which is currently under development, will be the strongest neutron source in the astrophysically interesting energy region in the world. It will be about three orders of magnitude more intense than the well-established neutron source at the Research Center Karlsruhe (FZK).
