Investigation of magnetic phenomenons like chiral spin-density waves (SDW) and skyrmions requires a high flux of cold neutrons for polarized neutron spectroscopy and similar advanced applications. While neutron optics have evolved greatly during the last years, the moderator itself leaves much options for improvement. Using MCNPX, sophisticated moderator configurations are developed allowing for high neutron yields and a high beam brilliance. Calculations propose flat, so called 2-dimensional pancake moderators, of supercritical para hydrogen for the upcoming European Spallation Source. Validation of the calculations however is challenging, since neutron energy spectra from several MeV down to 0.1meV need very high levels of measurement equipment and easily accessible neutron sources. Highly specialized cold moderators, optimized to the energy and time structure of the future neutron sources will yield higher brilliance and available flux at the sample to improve the performance of magnetic scattering methods and neutron applications in Chemistry and Biology.
