نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Simulation-guided optimization of small-angle analyzer geometry in the neutron backscattering spectrometer SPHERES.
The resolution of neutron backscattering spectrometers deteriorates at small scattering angles where analyzers deviate from exact backscattering. By reducing the azimuth angle range of the analyzers, the resolution can be improved with little loss of peak intensity. Measurements at the spectrometer SPHERES are in excellent agreement with simulations, which proves the dominance of geometric effe...
متن کاملAdvanced Neutron Instrumentation at FRM-II
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 ...
متن کاملThe 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 ...
متن کاملFirst experience with the focusing neutron guide on IN1OC
MIt is the extinction-limited extension of the Bragg peak in reciprocal space3 and a is the divergence (full width) ofthe beam. In numbers, we obtain At/t= 1.86 • iO for the 111 reflection of Si. Thus, a beam divergence of .700 would balance both terms in eq. 1. The neutron flux for such a highly monochromatic beam is very low. Consequently, backscattering spectrometers can only be operated at ...
متن کاملQuantum Rotations in Methyl Iodide (CH3I) An experimental investigation using the High-Flux Backscattering Spectrometer and Filter Analyzer Neutron Spectrometer NIST Center for Neutron Research Summer School on Methods and Applications of Neutron Spectroscopy June 25-29, 2007 HFBS Team
We will use inelastic neutron scattering to examine the quantum rotational dynamics of methyl iodide (also known as iodomethane, CH3I), a textbook example of a symmetric quantum top. The goal of this hands-on measurement is to gain an understanding and appreciation of the backscattering and filter analyzer measurement techniques, get practical experience in obtaining inelastic neutron scatterin...
