HYSPEC: 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...

Polarized Neutron Spectrometer Development and Experiments at Brookhaven

Recent work at Brookhaven has focussed on the development of polarized neutron spectrometers and reflects the resurgence of interest in polarization analysis. Both Heusler crystals and FeGe multilayers used in conjunction with pyrolytic graphite crystals have been tested as polarizing monochromators on a triple-axis instrument. The goal is to first obtain polarized beams of adequate intensity a...

The compact neutron spectrometer at ASDEX Upgrade.

The first neutron spectrometer of ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) was installed in November 2008. It is a compact neutron spectrometer (CNS) based on a BC501A liquid scintillating detector, which can simultaneously measure 2.45-MeV and 14-MeV neutrons emitted from deuterium (D) plasmas and γ radiation. The scintillating detector is coupled to a digital pulse shape discrimination data acquisition (DPSD) sys...
