WELCOME TO ICANS XXI ICANS (International Collaboration on Advanced Neutron Sources) is a network for scientists who are involved in developing pulsed neutron sources and accelerator based spallation neutron sources. Since 1st ICANS meetings was held in 1977 at Argonne National Laboratory in the day of dawn of spallation neutron technique, ICANS has been continuously held already 20 times somewhere in the world. Now we are extremely happy to announce that the ICANS, the 21st meeting, will be held at Mito hosted by J-PARC this autumn. We have a large number of topics to be discussed, there are twelve topics, such as futuristic idea of neutron source, rapid progress in facilities, integration issues in target-moderator-development, etc. The details can be found in the agenda. The meeting has a two layered structure, one is plenary session and another is workshop. Two of them are complementary and tightly cooperate each other. In the meeting we would like to enhance "workshop style", which is an original and traditional way of ICANS. Actually 2/3 of topics will be discussed in the workshop sessions. It also will be essentially organized/ lead by the workshop chairs. Plenary session shows overall issues in a relevant workshop, whose details should be talked/discussed in the workshop. The venue for the meeting is Mito city, where the 2nd Shogun Family lived for a long period of time during Edo era from 17th to 19th century, when the Tokugawa shogunate ruled the country. Mito is one hour train distance from Tokyo and two hours by bus from the Narita Airport, the central international airport of Japan. There is Kairakuen park by Senba Lake, which is one of the three most famous parks of Japan. One can find various kind of blossoms for each season. Especially plum blossoms in early spring is very famous. In autumn, you can see beautiful moonlight projected on the fluctuation water surface in Senba Lake. We are preparing the some enjoyment at seaside as an excursion. Let's enjoy your stay in Mito not only discussion but something exciting outside. Weather is comfortable in autumn in Mito. We are looking forward to seeing you ICANS in Mito Japan.

  • Three Dimensional Polarimetric Neutron Tomography of Magnetic
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Three Dimensional Polarimetric Neutron Tomography of Magnetic Fields Received: 25 April 2017 Morten Sales 1, Markus Strobl 2,3, Takenao Shinohara4, Anton Tremsin5, Luise Theil Kuhn 6, Accepted: 18 January 2018 William R. B. Lionheart7, Naeem M. Desai 7, Anders Bjorholm Dahl8 & Søren Schmidt 1 Published: xx xx xxxx Through the use of Time-of-Flight Three Dimensional Polarimetric Neutron Tomography (ToF 3DPNT) we have for the frst time successfully demonstrated a technique capable of measuring and reconstructing three dimensional magnetic feld strengths and directions unobtrusively and non- destructively with the potential to probe the interior of bulk samples which is not amenable otherwise. Using a pioneering polarimetric set-up for ToF neutron instrumentation in combination with a newly developed tailored reconstruction algorithm, the magnetic feld generated by a current carrying solenoid has been measured and reconstructed, thereby providing the proof-of-principle of a technique able to reveal hitherto unobtainable information on the magnetic felds in the bulk of materials and devices, due to a high degree of penetration into many materials, including metals, and the sensitivity of neutron polarisation to magnetic felds. The technique puts the potential of the ToF time structure of pulsed neutron sources to full use in order to optimise the recorded information quality and reduce measurement time. Te spin of a neutron passing through a magnetic feld will undergo an amount of precession proportional to the strength of the magnetic feld and the time spent by the neutron in the magnetic feld. Te time is proportional to the neutron wavelength, λ, and the path length through the magnetic feld, L.

    22.54 Neutron Interactions and Applications (Spring 2002) Lecture Notes on Neutronics of Multiplying Media This is a set of notes for the four lectures on neutron interactions in a reactor system in which a neutron population can change as a result of capture and fission reactions, in addition to scattering. We will discuss the concept of criticality as a way of describing any self-sustaining chain reaction which, in principle, can be just as well chemical in nature, and focus on the fundamental understanding of neutron diffusion and slowing down, and the interplay between materials constants (expressed through cross sections) and geometric factors (system size and shape) in determining criticality. The four lectures are: Lec 14. Neutronics of Multiplying Media – criticality, moderation, leakage Lec 15. Elements of Neutron Diffusion Theory Lec 16. Neutron Slowing Down Lec.17. The Two-Group Two-Region Reactor As a start the following references are recommended for supplemental reading: J. Lemarsh, Introduction to Nuclear Reactor Theory K. M. Case, F. deHoffmann, G.

  • Instrumental Aspects
    EPJ Web of Conferences 155, 00002 (2017) DOI: 10.1051/epjconf/201715500002 JDN 22 Instrumental aspects Navid Qureshi Institut Laue Langevin, 38000 Grenoble, France Abstract. Every neutron scattering experiment requires the choice of a suited neutron diffractometer (or spectrometer in the case of inelastic scattering) with its optimal configuration in order to accomplish the experimental tasks in the most successful way. Most generally, the compromise between the incident neutron flux and the instrumental resolution has to be considered, which is depending on a number of optical devices which are positioned in the neutron beam path. In this chapter the basic instrumental principles of neutron diffraction will be explained. Examples of different types of experiments and their respective expectable results will be shown. Furthermore, the production and use of polarized neutrons will be stressed. 1. Introduction A successful neutron scattering experiment requires a thorough plan of which instrument to use and how to set up its configuration in order to obtain the best possible results. Optimally, the decision of the set-up is taken beforehand, but in many cases the instrument parameters are modified on-the-fly after analyzing the first results. Due to the different experimental tasks – reaching from magnetic or nuclear structure investigation to the mapping of phase diagrams – and the different sample dimensions (both the crystal size and the lattice parameters), which can be investigated at one and the same instrument, it becomes obvious that the versatility of some instruments has to be adjusted to satisfy the experimental tasks. Obviously, the sample state (powder, single crystal, liquid, etc.) limits the choice of instruments, however, you can find powder diffractometers which differ from each other concerning the used neutron wavelength and particular devices in the beam path in order to maximize the efficiency for a type of experiment.

Received: 6 November 2017; Accepted: 8 December 2017; Published: 13 December 2017 Abstract: Conventional neutron imaging utilizes the beam attenuation caused by scattering and absorption through the materials constituting an object in order to investigate its macroscopic inner structure. Small angle scattering has basically no impact on such images under the geometrical conditions applied. Nevertheless, in recent years different experimental methods have been developed in neutron imaging, which enable to not only generate contrast based on neutrons scattered to very small angles, but to map and quantify small angle scattering with the spatial resolution of neutron imaging. This enables neutron imaging to access length scales which are not directly resolved in real space and to investigate bulk structures and processes spanning multiple length scales from centimeters to tens of nanometers. Keywords: neutron imaging; neutron scattering; small angle scattering; dark-field imaging 1. Introduction The largest and maybe also broadest length scales that are probed with neutrons are the domains of small angle neutron scattering (SANS) and imaging.
