Title: Neutron Spin Filters Applied to SANS and VSANS Instruments
Summary:
Researchers at NIST have demonstrated the application of neutron spin filters (NSFs) on both Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) and Very Small Angle Neutron Scattering (VSANS) instruments. The NSFs can be used as analyzers for polarized beam measurements, allowing for different field orientations depending on the measurement requirements.
Key points:
– NSFs can be applied to SANS and VSANS instruments for polarized beam measurements
– Different field orientations can be used depending on the specific measurement needs
– Applications of NSFs in SANS have been previously documented
– VSANS instrumentation and NSF applications have been detailed in a recent publication
– A presentation on neutron polarization analysis and NSF applications is available for presentation use
The use of NSFs on SANS and VSANS instruments enables researchers to perform polarized beam measurements with different field orientations, depending on the specific requirements of each experiment. This technique has been previously applied to SANS measurements and has been detailed in several publications. The application of NSFs to VSANS instruments has been described in a recent publication, providing detailed information on the use of neutron spin filters in these instruments. Additionally, a presentation on neutron polarization analysis and NSF applications is available for presentation use, covering the topic of NSFs on SANS instruments.
