LINAC-TOF neutron diffraction experiment on liquids

A time-of-flight (TOF) neutron diffraction facility has been developed to carry out structural studies on molecular liquids and solutions, using pulsed neutrons produced by the electron linear accelerator (LINAC) at Hokkaido University. This paper gives a detailed description of the experimental instrumentation together with its resolution and accuracy, and further, describes the comprehensive data processing procedure including a flow diagram of the data reduction program, which is useful for the analysis of neutron diffraction data on liquids in general.
