Description
We present the features of the instrument SANS-1, a joint project of TUM and HZG [1]. SANS-1 features two velocity selectors with 10% and 6% Δλ/λ and a fast TISANE 14-window double chopper, allowing efficiently tuning flux, resolution, duty cycle and frame overlap, including time resolved measurements with repetition rates up to 10 kHz. The polarization analysis option combines a compensated MEOP and an integrated RF-flipper.
A second key feature is the large accessible Q-range facilitated by the sideways movement of the primary 1m$^2$ detector. Particular attention is hence paid to effects like tube shadowing and anisotropic solid angle corrections that arise due to large scattering angles ~40° on an array of single $^3$He tubes, where a standard cos$^3$ solid angle correction is no longer valid. SANS-1 features a flexible, spacious sample stage equipped with a heavy-duty goniometer, allowing hosting a wide range of different sample environment like a set of sample changers, magnets, ovens, a bespoke dilatometer for in-situ rapid quenching/heating [2] and a dedicated HF-coil system for nanomagnetism/hyperthermia [3].
We show selected highlights and present our current developments, e.g. a high temperature furnace that works as an insert for the 5T magnet and a future high magnetic field project.
