Description

Upon assessing the viability of installing a SANS device at the IEA-R1 reactor, it was concluded that a standard SANS spectrometer would attenuate the neutron flux too much, causing a poor signal-to-background ratio. The performance can, however, be considerably enhanced by the use of multi-channel converging collimation, and further improved when combined with stacked neutron guides for fast neutron filtering.
