Title: Design and performance of a superconducting neutron resonance spin flipper

Abstract

Despite the challenges, neutron resonance spin echo still holds the promise to improve upon neutron spin echo for the measurement of slow dynamics in materials. We present a bootstrap, radio frequency neutron spin flipper using high temperature superconducting technology capable of flipping neutron spin with either nonadiabatic or adiabatic modes. A frequency of 2 MHz has been achieved, which would achieve an effective field integral of 0.35 T m for a meter of separation in a neutron resonance spin echo spectrometer at the current device specifications. In bootstrap mode, the self-cancellation of Larmor phase aberrations can be achieved with the appropriate selection of the polarity of the gradient coils.

Optimization of a superconducting adiabatic radio frequency neutron resonant spin flipper

Journal Article Li, Fankang ; Dadisman, Ryan ; Wasilko, David C. - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

The neutron radio frequency (RF) spin flipper is one of the key components to implement neutron resonance spin echo (NRSE) for high resolution measurements of dynamics in materials. Various types of RF flippers have been built and implemented including adiabatic and non-adiabatic RF flippers. For a pulsed neutron source, adiabatic RF flipper is more favorable due to its wide operation bandwidth. However, the optimization criteria of an adiabatic RF flipper is still lacking. Also they are difficult to be operated in bootstrap mode, which can be use to minimize the phase aberration and increase the achievable resolution. In the reportmore »« less

Neutron resonance spin-echo upgrade at the three-axis spectrometer FLEXX

Journal Article Groitl, F., E-mail: felix.groitl@psi.ch ; Quintero-Castro, D. L. ; Habicht, K. ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

We describe the upgrade of the neutron resonance spin-echo setup at the cold neutron triple-axis spectrometer FLEXX at the BER II neutron source at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin. The parameters of redesigned key components are discussed, including the radio frequency (RF) spin-flip coils, the magnetic shield, and the zero field coupling coils. The RF-flippers with larger beam windows allow for an improved neutron flux transfer from the source to the sample and further to the analyzer. The larger beam cross sections permit higher coil inclination angles and enable measurements on dispersive excitations with a larger slope of the dispersion. Due tomore »« less

Neutron resonance spin flippers: Static coils manufactured by electrical discharge machining

Journal Article Martin, N. ; Kredler, L. ; Häußler, W. ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

Radiofrequency spin flippers (RFSF) are key elements of Neutron Resonance Spin Echo (NRSE) spectrometers, which allow performing controlled manipulations of the beam polarization. We report on the design and test of a new type of RFSF which originality lies in the new manufacturing technique for the static coil. The largely automated procedure ensures reproducible construction as well as an excellent homogeneity of the neutron magnetic resonance condition over the coil volume. Two salient features of this concept are the large neutron window and the closure of the coil by a μ-metal yoke which prevents field leakage outside of the coilmore »« less

Four-wave neutron-resonance spin echo

Journal Article Grigoriev, S V ; Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute, Gatchina, St. Petersburg 188300 ; Kraan, W H ; ... - Physical Review. A

We develop a technique of scattering from many-body systems. It is based on the principle of the neutron spin echo (SE), where a neutron wave in the magnetic field splits into two waves, which are separated in space or in time after propagation in this field. The neutron thus prepared as a probe passes through the sample to test its properties on a space R or time t scale. This separation in space or in time can be measured using coherence of these two waves as a phase shift {phi} between them. These two waves are collected or focused andmore »« less

A high-field adiabatic fast passage ultracold neutron spin flipper for the UCNA experiment

Journal Article Holley, A. T. ; Pattie, R. W. ; Young, A. R. ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

The UCNA collaboration is making a precision measurement of the {beta} asymmetry (A) in free neutron decay using polarized ultracold neutrons (UCN). A critical component of this experiment is an adiabatic fast passage neutron spin flipper capable of efficient operation in ambient magnetic fields on the order of 1 T. The requirement that it operate in a high field necessitated the construction of a free neutron spin flipper based, for the first time, on a birdcage resonator. The design, construction, and initial testing of this spin flipper prior to its use in the first measurement of A with UCN duringmore »« less
