Abstract
Neutron focusing devices can be used to enhance neutron instruments when measuring small samples. However, for an optimum performance they need to be as close as possible to the sample which, in most situations, conflicts with the need for sample environment such as pressure cells, cryostats or magnets. In this paper we explore the potential and feasibility to incorporate a neutron lens based on supermirror technology into a cryostat containing a Paris-Edinburgh pressure cell. We present experimental results on the performance of super-mirrors between 5 and 300 K. Based on the experimental results we estimate the expected gain factors for a setup with a parabolic lens and a pressure cell in a cryogenic environment using Monte Carlo simulations.
