A prototype of an ultra cold neutron (UCN) source with a solid deuterium converter has been taken into operation at the tangential beamtube C at the reactor TRIGA Mainz. Dedicated to the investigation of the growing and working parameters of a solid deuterium converter, this prototype has now reached it’s final performance. Driving the reactor in pulsed mode, an ucn density of 4 /cm3 is now available for experiments at the experimental area.
