Considering the results of centers such as LENS (USA) or Bariloche (Argentina), it was proposed in 2010 that regular meetings should be organized to share information on Compact Accelerator-based Neutron sources (CANS). It was shown during the conference that CANS are a viable approach that can potentially offer performances on par with medium power research reactors and spallation sources in the field of neutron scattering. The participants of the conference had the opportunity to visit the neutron scattering instruments of the Laboratoire Léon Brillouin at the Orphée reactor (above) and the IPHI - Neutrons accelerator setup (below) in Saclay.
