The European Spallation Source, ESS, is a facility for research using neutron beams that is being built in Lund. It will be the world’s most powerful such facility when it comes into full operation in the next decade. Neutrons will be released from a rotating tungsten target when it is hit by 2 GeV protons provided by a superconducting linac at an unprecedented 5 MW of average beam power, serving 22 neutron instruments covering a wide range of fundamental and applied sciences. An overview of the project will be given, with emphasis on technology. Current status, plans and challenges will be reviewed.
