چکیده
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 scattering data, and reduce, analyze and interpret a set of these data.

Two types of ultra high energy resolution neutron scattering instruments, the backscattering spectrometer and the spin echo spectrometer, are described. Examples of the types of research which can be done with these instruments are given and plans for a cold neutron backscattering spectrometer which will be built in the NIST Cold Neutron Research Facility (CNRF) are discussed. It is hoped that ...
متن کاملShielding studies on a total-body neutron activation facility
Background: Prompt gamma neutron activation analysis (PGNAA) is known as a non-invasive technique capable of measuring elemental concentration in voluminous samples in a short period of time. Also it is a valuable diagnostic tool for total body elemental measurements. 252Cf and 241Am-Be sources which are usually used in this method, generate not only neutrons, but also emit high-energy and unwa...
