The Disk Chopper Spectrometer at the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) uses a “neutron optical filter” to remove high-energy neutrons and gamma rays. Nevertheless the measured background at the sample position is time-dependent because of short-wavelength neutrons that get through the optical filter and the choppers. We explain how this happens.
