Neutron time-of-flight measurement techniques: new possibilities of TOF spectroscopy with NEAT at BENSC

Abstract

A series of experiments performed on the TOF spectrometer NEAT at the Berlin Neutron Scattering Center is reported to demonstrate the versatility and some of the original possibilities offered by this instrument: continuous variation of the energy resolution over four decades, TOF diffraction using single detectors and a large range of incident neutron wavelengths, high-resolution studies in (Q, ω) -space of single crystals with a multidetector at large scattering angle, or elastic and inelastic small-angle scattering with the multidetector at zero angle.
