Neutrons of low kinetic energy (cold neutrons) are frequently used in spectrometers for the condensed matter investigation like neutron diffractometers or small angle neutron scattering spectrometers. The accurate knowledge of the speed of the incident neutron beam on the sample is essential for the correct interpretation of experimental data. Besides being used in a large variety of neutron scattering experiments, the time-offlight (TOF) technique stands as a relatively simple and accurate for measuring the energy of cold neutrons if a time-modulated beam of sufficient intensity is available. In this paper we present a system for measuring the absolute energy of cold neutrons at the Small angle scattering facility of the NUR reactor and the neutron diffraction facility at the Es-Salam reactor using the time-of-flight technique.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
