Curved 3He detectors used on single crystal and powder diffractometers are among the most advanced detectors in neutron scattering science. They provide high detection efficiency, low gamma background, and high position resolution, with no parallax error in the plane perpendicular to the detector axis. 6 of these detectors are currently in operation worldwide: D19, D20, and D1B at ILL, HRPT at...
Increasing demand for neutron detectors and the shortage (rise of the cost) of the Helium-3, opened a new era for using solid neutron converters. Our group at the University of Bonn is developing three different types of detectors by combining solid converters with high spatial and time resolution of a Timepix3-based readout. They are all thermal neutron sensitive.
One of the detectors is...
Neutron radiography plays an important part in the diagnostic repertoire of nondestructive inspection techniques providing information of the inner part of an object often not accessible by any other means. Since the start-up of n_TOF’s second experimental area (EAR2), the possibility of diversifying the capabilities of EAR2, profiting from a high instantaneous neutron flux, were exploited....
We present novel advances in the implementation of Neutron Resonance Transmission Imaging (NRTI), a non-destructive 2D quantitative elemental analysis technique, performed at the Italian Neutron Experimental Station (INES) beamline operating at the ISIS neutron and muon source, UK.
Neutron spallation sources have high epithermal neutron fluxes, which is a profitable energy range for elemental...
MLZ successfully operates the two neutron imaging beam lines NECTAR and ANTARES. NECTAR provides fast fission neutrons, thermal neutrons and gammas, which can be combined for multi-modal characterization of larger samples with spatial resolution down to ~100 µm. ANTARES offers a spectrum with a thermal maximum, extended towards cold neutrons, providing higher sensitivity and spatial...
