The new flexible high flux sub-µeV backscattering spectrometer IN16B at ILL is in full user operation with its Si111 configuration, offering more than a factor of 10 higher flux, a better signal-to-noise ratio, a wider dynamic range and an improved energy resolution than its predecessor IN16. Furthermore a Si311 configuration is commissioned and a GaAs200 and a time-of-flight option (BATS) are...

A time-of-flight (TOF) type near-backscattering spectrometer (n-BSS), DNA was built and started operation in 2012 at the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). DNA is a unique instrument among spallation pulsed neutron facilities over the world in terms of n-BSS equipped with a high-speed pulse-shaping disc-chopper....

The NIST High Flux Backscattering Spectrometer (HFBS) was the first backscattering instrument constructed in the U.S. With over 250 publications to its credit, it has been one of the NCNR’s flagship instruments. In this presentation we will describe a brief history of HFBS from inception to the first user experiment. In addition, we will describe one of the instrument’s most innovative...

SPHERES is a third-generation backscattering spectrometer with phase-transform chopper, located at a cold-neutron guide of FRM II, and in routine operation since 2007. For technical details, see [1,2,3]. In this talk, for a unique assembly of experts, I will not so much celebrate what we have achieved, but rather discuss the subtle difficulties that limit the accuracy of this fine experimental...

The first instrument officially adopted as part of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) was the beam line 2, near-backscattering spectrometer that eventually was named BaSiS (Backscattering Silicon Spectrometer). BaSiS was the first silicon-based backscattering spectrometer to be installed at a short-pulse spallation neutron source. The original charge from the...
