Description

CSPEC is a cold chopper spectrometer to come operative at the end of 2027.
This beamline is unique at ESS as the transport system was developed in-house as an in-kind contribution from TUM/LLB and not procured from one of the known commercial suppliers for this kind of system.
We will present the mechanical design of supports, vacuum housing, neutron guides and its integration with the active components of the transport system, i.e. choppers, shutters, monitors, shielding.
A qualitative evaluation of this construction approach will be presented, along with the challenges and advantages encountered.
