Abstract: The China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) is an accelerator based multidiscipline user facility planned to be constructed in Dongguan, Guangdong, China. The CSNS complex consists of an negative hydrogen linear accelerator, a rapid cycling proton synchrotron accelerating the beam to 1.6GeV energy, a solid tungsten target station, and instruments for spallation neutron applications. The facility operates at 25Hz repetition rate with an initial design beam power of 120kW and is upgradeable to 500kW. The primary challenge is to build a robust and reliable user''s facility with upgrade potential at a fraction of “world standard” cost. We report the status, design, R&D, and upgrade outlook including applications using spallation neutron, muon, fast neutron, and proton, as well as related programs including medical therapy and accelerator-driven sub-critical reactor (ADS) programs for nuclear waste transmutation.
