Second Target Station (STS) Project: Centaur (Technical Report)
- Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Oak Ridge, TN (United States)
CENTAUR will be the flagship general purpose small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) instrument for the Second Target Station of SNS. Based on an optimized and high-performance SANS instrument, it is capable of SANS/wide-angle neutron scattering and diffraction simultaneously filling the capability gap to cover structure scale from atomic scale to hundreds of nanometers for scientific needs ranging from polymers, biology, materials sciences, and quantum condensed matter. Additionally, with a high-speed chopper, it can be used as a direct geometry spectrometer to probe the dynamics in relatively large length-scale structures as an inelastic SANS spectrometer. The technical details of the CENTAUR instrument are presented in this document. As the project progresses, the initial details are subject to change based on feedback.
