EXTENDED ABSTRACT: The China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) is a large-scale scientific facility, which aims to provide a powerful platform for both fundamental scientific research and high-tech development in many application fields such as material science, life science, resource environment, new energy, etc. The current situation and achievement of Phase I, and the progress of Phase II of CSNS will be introduced briefly. In the second part, the neutron experimental technologies and analysis methods of characteristic will be present, including neutron powder diffraction on crystalline, neutron reflection on thin film, and small angle neutron scattering on nano-structure.The non-destructive detection methods are given in the last part, including residual stress measurement using neutron diffraction,micro-defect detection using neutron imaging, trace element determination using neutron depth profile, and single event effect by neutron radiation.

Keywords: Neutron Scattering, Characteristic of Materials, Non-destructive Detection.
