The governing body of European Spallation Source ERIC, the ESS Council, has convened for its 39th council meeting. A summary report is available on the ESS website:

ESS is getting cooler than ever! Read more about our cryogenic ambitions on the ESS website:

How will #ESS manage the massive amount of #data from #neutron experiments? .In a live demo, ESS #DMSC showcased the full data pipeline—from proposal to science-ready results—for the first time. Read more:

ESS has successfully completed integrated testing of all accelerator #magnets 🧲- another step towards #accelerator commissioning early 2025 – also including all magnets needed to send the #BeamOnTarget. 🇮🇹@elettrasincro & #ESS 🙌. 🔗

❓How can you "see" neutron interactions with a sample? .❗️You need neutron detectors! . The #detectors needed for the 15 instruments and the Test Beamline at #ESS are currently under development and installation - read more here:

Warm coupler conditioning is complete! The #ESS #Accelerator is moving closer to cold operation and beam commissioning. A huge team effort!. 🔗 #RoadToScience #Collaboration #BigScience.

The ESS linac is now under vacuum! 👋 to the ESS vacuum team and 🇬🇧partner @STFC_Matters proving how 'nothing' can be so essential! Getting ready for accelerator commissioning! . Read more: #ESSRoadToScience #BeamOn #VacuumScience #BigScience

Powering Up for Proton Acceleration! ⚡. #ESS #RFsystems, delivering the energy needed to accelerate the #proton beam, are now installed and tested! This is one of the important milestones to get ESS ready to #commission the #accelerator early 2025! . 🔗

The first-ever in-situ rotation of the Target Wheel inside the Monolith vessel took place at #ESS this week!. @BilbaoEss 👋. Read: .Watch: Learn: #Spallation #NeutronScience.

The EU-funded @flexricaneu project, coordinated by #ESS, aims to enhance energy flexibility and set a blueprint for sustainable practices in RIs. Check out this video for insights into #energyefficiency at RIs! ⚡ . #energyresilence #flexibilityinRIs.

"Attending the #NEUWAVE conference was the right choice, as this is where the hot topics are discussed," said one of the participants at the 12th NEUWAVE meeting, held from 1–5 Sep at #ESS, to discuss the latest advancements in #NeutronImaging. 🔗

Crystal analysers, detectors and choppers in place, with control systems successfully energised - #ESS extreme-environment spectrometer #BIFROST is advancing towards neutron readiness. 🔗 #RoadToScience.

Another key achievement on the journey to producing beam in the #ESS #Accelerator: The installation of Beam Current Monitors (BCMs) across the entire linac is completed! 🙌. 🔗
