Quasielastic neutron scattering experiment on water using TOFLAR (Time Of Flight and LARmor precession) technique at SNS

Abstract

Abstract. We present the results of the first TOFLAR (Time Of Flight and LARmor precession) experiment with a Larmor modulation device positioned after the sample. Using a setup based on the configuration of the SNS-NSE spectrometer (Spallation Neutron Source, USA), we did TOFLAR measurements on water at 5 and 20 degree Celsius, analyzed the spectra, and obtained diffusion coefficient values that are in a reasonable agreement with literature. Thus, our results demonstrate that TOFLAR may become a standard technique to study quasielastic neutron scattering in future.
