Neutron Guide Building instruments of the Brazilian Multipurpose Reactor (RMB) project

Abstract: A growing community of scientists has been using neutrons in the most diverse areas of science. In order to meet the researchers demand in the areas of physics, chemistry, materials sciences, engineering, cultural heritage, biology and earth sciences, the Brazilian Multipurpose Reactor (RMB) will provide 3 thermal guides and 3 cold guides, with the installation of several instruments for materials characterization. In this study, we present a standard design requirement of two primordial instruments, namely Sa… Show more

“…The results obtained are compatible with state-of-the-art instruments from international installations [6,7]. Our model will receive new attributes after the simulations for the TG1 thermal guide, where the high intensity neutron diffractometer, called Flautim, will be localized [3]. The optimization problem has many variables, such as the choice of collimators and evaluation of beam divergences in curved sections.…”

“…The linear dimensions of the neutron guides, as well as the relative distance to the Reactor Core and the components that make up Araponga can be found in Figure 1. It is important to note that the Araponga instrument is intended to be installed at the end of the TG1 thermal guide [3]. However, the input file to the McStas software contains data referring to the TG2 thermal guide.…”

“…The Brazilian Multipurpose Reactor (RMB) project inaugurates a new era of research on nuclear science and technologies in Brazil and Latin America. Besides the radiopharmaceutical feedstock production, the reactor will allow the study of irradiation in materials and the use of neutron beams to investigate the structures of materials in low dimensions [1,2]. The RMB project has a suite of 15 instruments that use thermal and cold neutrons, allowing the investigation of structures with a wide range of micro and nano scales [2].…”

“…The transportation of neutrons by different types of guides and components has always been a subject of intense scientific activity [1,2,3], from the creation of the first nuclear fission reactors in the 1940s [4] to the recent projects [5,6], and sources of spallation [7]. The theories describing the transportation of neutrons were divided into two groups, the deterministic methods that lead to approximations to solve the Boltzmann equation [8] and the stochastic approach, based on the Monte Carlo method [9].…”
