Title: Deep learning-based super-resolution for small-angle neutron scattering data: attempt to accelerate experimental workflow

Abstract

In this paper, the authors propose an alternative route to circumvent the limitation of neutron flux using the recent deep learning super-resolution technique. The feasibility of accelerating data collection has been demonstrated by using small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) data collected from the EQ-SANS instrument at Spallation Neutron Source (SNS). Data collection time can be reduced by increasing the size of binning of the detector pixels at the sacrifice of resolution. High-resolution scattering data is then reconstructed by using a deep learning-based super-resolution method. This will allow users to make critical decisions at a much earlier stage of data collection, which can accelerate the overall experimental workflow.
