Advanced Neutron Instrumentation at FRM-II
نویسنده
چکیده
The construction of the new German high flux neutron source FRM-II is finished and FRM-II is waiting for its licence to start nuclear operation. With the beginning of the routine operation 22 instruments will be in action, including 5 irradiation facilities and 17 beam tube instruments, most of them use neutron scattering techniques. Additional instruments are under construction. Some of these instruments are unique, others are expected to be the best of their kind, all instruments are based on innovative techniques.

The New German Neutron Source Frm Ii
The new research reactor of the Technische Universität München will provide the German needs of neutrons for the beginning of the next century. High intensities of thermal neutrons are provided by a particular densely packed core of highly enriched uranium and are extracted by 12 beam apertures. The low thermal power of 20 MW allows the positioning of a D2 cold source at a maximum of the therma...

SPHERES is a third-generation neutron backscattering spectrometer, located at the 20 MW German neutron source FRM II and operated by the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science. It offers an energy resolution (fwhm) better than 0.65 μeV, a dynamic range of ± 31 μeV, and a signal-to-noise ratio of up to 1750:1.
متن کاملFast Neutron Therapy: a Status Report
The paper, in its first part, outlines the place of the fast neutron therapy (FNT) in the concert of radiation therapies by listing the active facilities, comparing technical and statistical data, and summarizing distinct biological properties of fast neutrons. The gross situation of Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is mentioned as well. As well as the number of patients is decreasing, FNT ...
متن کاملInstrument Control with TACO at the FRM-II
With the start up of the new German Neutron Source FRM-II in Garching, a common instrument control system has to be installed at the different neutron scattering instruments. With respect to the large variety of instruments, a modular system was required. In spite of starting from scratch, a well developed and tested system was needed, in order to meet the restricted man power and short time sc...
