In the present work the target station of the accelerator-driven neutron source HBS is
optimized in comprehensive parameter studies using the Monto-Carlo method. The dependence of
the most important performance characteristics of such a system on the external parameters is
investigated neglecting technical and mechanical limitations.In this way qualitative and
quantitative statements for all possible configurations and envisaged applications can be
derived and should be considered in the detailed planning of such facilities. For this purpose
different scenarios are considered that place completely different requirements on the design
of the target station.The central statements derived in this thesis can be transferred to any
framework conditions such as different accelerator energies so that these results can be used
in the development of other neutron sources which together with the HBS form a European
network and provide a prosperous community in neutron science.
