Title: Energy dependence of the flux and elastic resolution for the ARCS neutron spectrometer

Abstract

A series of vanadium calibration measurements for a wide range of incident energies was performed for the ARCS direct geometry chopper spectrometer at the Spallation Neutron Source. Analytical modeling combined with Monte Carlo neutron ray-tracing simulations was used to analyze the measured elastic resolution and flux dependence on incident energy at various combinations of Fermi chopper choice and frequencies. Furthermore, these data and model will be useful for planning experiments at ARCS.

Design and operation of the wide angular-range chopper spectrometer ARCS at the Spallation Neutron Source

Journal Article Abernathy, D L ; Stone, M B ; Loguillo, M J ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

The wide angular-range chopper spectrometer ARCS at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) is optimized to provide a high neutron flux at the sample position with a large solid angle of detector coverage. The instrument incorporates modern neutron instrumentation, such as an elliptically focused neutron guide, high speed magnetic bearing choppers, and a massive array of {sup 3}He linear position sensitive detectors. Novel features of the spectrometer include the use of a large gate valve between the sample and detector vacuum chambers and the placement of the detectors within the vacuum, both of which provide a window-free final flight path tomore »« less

Neutron powder di?raction using the ARCS chopper spectrometer at the Spallation Neutron Source

Journal Article Bozin, Emil ; Juhas, Pavol ; Zhou, Wenduo ; ... - Journal of Physics Conference Series

The first neutron powder di raction based atomic pair distribution functions (PDFs) are reported from the new wide angular-range chopper spectrometer ARCS at the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The spectrometer was run in white-beam mode, with no Fermi chopper. The PDF patterns of Si, Ni, and Al2O3 were refined using the PDFfit method and the results compared to data collected at the NPDF diffractometer at Los Alamos National Laboratory. The resulting fits are of high quality demonstrating that quantitatively reliable powder diffraction data can be obtained from ARCS when operated in this configuration.

The new cold neutron chopper spectrometer at the Spallation Neutron Source: Design and performance

Journal Article Ehlers, G ; Podlesnyak, A A ; Niedziela, J L ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

The design and performance of the new cold neutron chopper spectrometer (CNCS) at the Spallation Neutron Source in Oak Ridge are described. CNCS is a direct-geometry inelastic time-of-flight spectrometer, designed essentially to cover the same energy and momentum transfer ranges as IN5 at ILL, LET at ISIS, DCS at NIST, TOFTOF at FRM-II, AMATERAS at J-PARC, PHAROS at LANSCE, and NEAT at HZB, at similar energy resolution. Measured values of key figures such as neutron flux at sample position and energy resolution are compared between measurements and ray tracing Monte Carlo simulations, and good agreement (better than 20% of absolutemore »« less
