LENS—A proposed University-based pulsed low-energy neutron facility: Instrumentation
Abstract
We will describe the types of neutron scattering instruments able to take maximum advantage of the LENS low energy neutron source described in the previous talk when operated in long-pulse mode. In particular, we will show that combining the LENS neutron source with a novel Spin-Echo small angle neutron scattering instrument (SESANS) [1] can compete with any existing neutron scattering instrument for probing the structure of complex materials over length scales from 30nm to 100nm. Reflectometry and high resolution diffraction can also be performed on the same instrument with minimal modifications. The neutron optical elements required to operate a SESANS instrument on a long-pulsed neutron source will be discussed. Reference: [1] M. Th. Rekveldt, Physica B 276, 55-58, 2000.
