On the update of DIN-2PI spectrometer

Abstract

The prospects of increasing the resolution of the DIN-2PI spectrometer at initial neutron energies of 50–500 meV are discussed. The spectrometer resolution can be significantly improved using time-of-flight neutron monochromatization supplemented with a monochromator crystal. The application of this combined monochromatization technique makes the dependence that the instrumental resolution has on the duration of the neutron pulse from the IBR-2 reactor insignificant. This update will make it possible to perform experiments with initial neutron energies to several hundreds of meV in the energy-dumping mode, which, in turn, allows one to study condensed media in a wide range of temperatures, including cryogenic.
