Neutron scattering techniques offer a unique combination of structural and the dynamic information of atomic and molecular systems over a wide range of distances and times. The increasing complexity in science investigations driven by technological advances is reflected in the studies of neutron scattering science, which enforces a diversification and an improvement of experimental tools, from the instrument design to the detector performance. It calls as well for more advanced data analysis and modelling. The improvements in resolution, count rate and signal-to-background ratio, achievable with the new instrumentations, also drive the research of alternative technologies to replace the 3He-based detector technology unable to fulfil the requirement of increasing performance. Two solution have been studied: a boron-10-based gaseous detector, the Multi-Blade and a solid-state Si-Gd detector. Both solution are suitable alternatives for neutron detection, able to meet the demands of high performance. It has been shown not only the technical characteristic of the devices, but how the science can profit from the better performance of these new detector technologies in real experimental condition.
MAGIX is a planned experiment that will be implemented at the upcoming accelerator MESA in Mainz. Due to its location in the energy-recovering lane of the accelerator beam-currents up to 1mA with a maximum energy of 105 MeV will be available for prec
The control systems of all neutron scattering instruments implemented by the Julich Centre for Neutron Science (JCNS) are based on Siemens PLC technology. Historically PROFIBUS has been used for the communication of PLCs with supervisory computers, d
Neutron reflectometry is a powerful tool used for studies of surfaces and interfaces. In general the absorption in the typical studied materials can be neglected and this technique is limited to the measurement of the reflectivity only. In the case o
A novel approach is presented to unfold particle hit positions in tracking detectors with multiplexed readout representing an underdetermined system of linear equations. The method does not use any prior information about the hit positions, the only
In this paper, the detection efficiency of a large area neutron sensitive microchannel plate detector has been evaluated. A 6LiF/ZnS detector was employed as the benchmark detector, the TOF spectra of these two detectors were simultaneously measured
