Title: NIST Develops Advanced Neutron Scattering Magnet for Quantum Research
Summary:
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has created a horizontal field superconducting magnet specifically designed for small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiments. This magnet features SANS windows that significantly reduce scattering compared to traditional aluminum tail sets.
The magnet allows for neutron access to a 25mm distributed sample volume with an angular accuracy of ±5° along the bore or ±3° along the split. The design enables researchers to align the magnetic field either parallel or transverse to the neutron beam direction, providing flexibility for various quantum research applications.
This advanced magnet system will be valuable for studying complex materials and quantum phenomena, as well as for developing new quantum technologies and materials.
