Abstract
A multifunctional neutron imaging system (MNIS) has been built recently on the day-one instrument general purpose powder diffractometer (GPPD) at the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS). The sample position of MNIS is located three meters downstream of the diffraction sample position to maintain good imaging performance without changing the existing layout. MNIS can accommodate several significant neutron imaging technologies, including two-dimensional neutron radiation, three-dimensional computer tomography, neutron Talbot–Lau grating interferometer, and Bragg edge neutron imaging. The system has a largest field of view (FOV) of 6 × 6 cm2 and a best spatial resolution of 25μm by changing the magnification of the optical lens. The wavelength resolution is better than 0.2%. Additionally, MNIS serves as an initial validation for Energy-Resolved Neutron Imaging instrument (ERNI), a dedicated neutron imaging instrument currently under construction at CSNS.
