Abstract

A new neutron imaging and diffraction facility, called IMAT, is currently being commissioned at the ISIS pulsed neutron spallation source. IMAT will take advantage of neutron time-of-flight measurement techniques for flexible neutron energy selection and effective energy discrimination. The instrument will be completed and commissioned within the next few months, after neutrons have been recently delivered to the sample area. From 2016 IMAT will enable white-beam neutron radiography and tomography as well as energy-dependent neutron imaging. The facility will offer a spatial resolution down to 50 microns for a field of view of up to 400 cm2. IMAT will be operated as a user facility for material science applications and will be open for developments of time-of-flight imaging methods.
