N2 - Abstract: The key elements of the compact accelerator-driving neutron source (CANS) dedicated to academic research and industrial applications (DARIA) have been developed. A pulsed proton linear accelerator with an energy of 13 MeV, a current of 100 mA, a pulse length of 100 μs, and a repetition rate of 100 pulses/s is under development for the DARIA CANS. An improved version of the GISMO ion source has been developed to generate the beam. The parameters of the accelerator line consisting of the RF quadrupole (RFQ) linac and the drift tube linac (DTL) have been determined by numerical simulation. The parameters and model of a hybrid magnetic lens for beam focusing are presented. A Faraday cup for diagnosing a high-intensity beam has been manufactured and tested. The developed prototypes of the target assembly based on beryllium and mesitylene moderator have confirmed the correctness of the selected engineering solutions. The physical parameters of the neutron-guiding systems have been determined in terms of the maximum luminosity of the device at a good instrumental resolution. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
