Title: Recent Advances in Cold Neutron Utilization at the NIST Research Reactor

Conference ·
OSTI ID:786191

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) operates a 20-MW research reactor. A 540-mm-diameter cryogenic beam port houses a liquid hydrogen cold neutron source, and a network of 7 neutron guides transports cold neutrons to 13 instruments in the guide hall. The available and planned neutron-scattering instruments are briefly described, along with an advanced cold neutron source that will nearly double the previous flux of cold neutrons.
