High Resolution Chopper Spectrometer HRC

The High Resolution K 600 Spectrometer

Quantitative structure refinement from the ARCS chopper spectrometer

The new wide angular-range chopper spectrometer ARCS at the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory has been successfully used in whitebeam mode, with no Fermi chopper, to obtain neutron powder diffraction based atomic pair distribution functions (PDFs). Obtained PDF patterns of Si, Ni, and Al2O3 were refined using the PDFfit method and the results compared to data collected ...

High-throughput, high-resolution Echelle deep-UV Raman spectrometer.

We constructed an ultrahigh-throughput, high-resolution ultraviolet (UV) Raman spectrograph that utilizes a high-efficiency filter-stage monochromator and a high-dispersion Echelle spectrograph. The spectrograph utilizes a total of six mirrors and two gratings, with an overall efficiency at 229 nm of ~18%. The limiting resolution of our spectrometer is 0.6 cm⁻¹ full width half-maximum (FWHM), a...

Field-deployable, high-resolution, time-of-flight aerosol mass spectrometer.

The development of a new high-resolution time-of-flight aerosol mass spectrometer (HR-ToF-AMS) is reported. The high-resolution capabilities of this instrument allow the direct separation of most ions from inorganic and organic species at the same nominal m/z, the quantification of several types of organic fragments (CxHy, CxHyOz, CxHyNp, CxHyOzNp), and the direct identification of organic nitr...

DIRAC: A High Resolution Spectrometer for Pionium Detection

The DIRAC spectrometer has been commissioned at CERN with the aim of detecting ππ atoms produced by a 24 GeV/c high intensity proton beam in thin foil targets. A challenging apparatus is required to cope with the high interaction rates involved, the triggering of pion pairs with very low relative momentum, and the measurement of the latter with resolution around 0.6 MeV/c. The general character...
