1 The Performance of Neutron Scattering Spectrometers at a Long - Pulse Spallation
نویسنده
چکیده
In this document I consider the performance of a long pulse spallation source for those neutron scattering experiments that are usually performed with a monochromatic beam at a continuous wave (CW) source such as a nuclear reactor [ 11. This class of expeijments can be represented generically by the upper part of Figure 1. A monochromatic neutron beam with wavevector ki falls on a sample and the scattered beam, with wavevector kf, is analysed in some way to obtain information about the sample.

The new cold neutron chopper spectrometer at the Spallation Neutron Source: design and performance.
The design and performance of the new cold neutron chopper spectrometer (CNCS) at the Spallation Neutron Source in Oak Ridge are described. CNCS is a direct-geometry inelastic time-of-flight spectrometer, designed essentially to cover the same energy and momentum transfer ranges as IN5 at ILL, LET at ISIS, DCS at NIST, TOFTOF at FRM-II, AMATERAS at J-PARC, PHAROS at LANSCE, and NEAT at HZB, at ...

The fraction of delayed neutrons in a moderated beam from the enriched uranium, pulsed spallation source at the intense pulsed neutron source at Argonne National Laboratory has been measured and found to be 0.0283 for 450-MeV protons. Delayed neutrons produce a sample-dependent background in time-of-flight instruments . Because of the distribution of neutron wavelengths in the prompt pulse, the...
متن کاملHYSPEC: Crystal-Time-of-Flight Hybrid Spectrometer for the Spallation Neutron Source
INTRODUCTION : The most informative neutron scattering investigations of the atomic-scale dynamical properties of crystalline solids nearly always require single crystal samples and – to date have mostly been carried out on crystal spectrometers at high-flux, reactor-based, steady-state neutron sources. Because such measurements tend to be made with small samples and are invariably flux-limited...
متن کاملLinac-driven Spallation-neutron Source*
Strong interest has arisen in accelerator-driven spallationneutron sources that surpass existing facilities (such as ISIS at Rutherford or LANSCE at Los Alamos) by more than an order of magnitude in beam power delivered to the spallation target. The approach chosen by Los Alamos (as well as the European Spallation Source) provides the full beam energy by acceleration in a linac as opposed to pr...
متن کاملThe Spallation Neutron Source Project
The SNS is a "joint-venture" project of five DOE National Laboratories, aimed at building the world's most powerful accelerator-based pulse spallation source. At its planned 2 MW operation, it will produce neutron fluxes at least a factor of ten greater than Rutherford Appleton Laboratory’s ISIS, currently the world’s leading spallation source. The current design of the SNS, shown in Figure 1, ...
