20. Engineering and sample environment of SANS

Sylvain DESERT (CEA Saclay - LLB)

15/05/2018, 09:30

Invited talk (+ poster)

PA20 is the last SANS instrument built at LLB and opened to user community in 2015.
The main components of PA20 such as the monochromation, the collimation, the sample area and the detection, will be described into details with emphasis on the engineering design choices and its specificities.

Also the sample environments proposed by the instrument in daily use will be presented with their...

11. Mechanical Design in Neutron Instrumentation

Mr Peter Harbott (Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH - JCNS)

15/05/2018, 08:30

Invited talk (+ poster)

The Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ) has a long history in neutron scattering. Today the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science (JCNS) is developing and operating several instruments at different outstations. The most important is the FRM II in Munich.

The talk will start with an overview on the engineering and manufacturing infrastructure at the FZJ. The scientific institute JCNS is strongly...

1. Minimizing activation, size and costs and yet maximizing efficiency - a challenge for engineering of instruments for research using neutrons

Elbio Calzada (Technical University of Munich - Research Reactor FRM II)

Invited talk (+ poster)

Engineering in the field of research with neutrons is a great challenge due to the materials which come into contact with neutrons and thus become radioactive.

The selection of suitable materials is essential: They have to a) guarantee the required functionality in each component of an instrument and b) minimize its activation at the same time.

In neutron research facilities shieldings are...
