Inelastic neutron scattering spectrometer for the IN-06 neutron source at the Moscow meson factory

In the spectrometers in which the so-called inverse geometry of scattering is used, the scattering neutron energy, E2, is fixed and the initial neutron energy, E1, is determined by source to sample time of flight. The inverse geometry method is a unique reliable means for determination of the absolute intensity of spectral lines. It is possible because this method allows experiments in a wide range transferred energies to be carried out without changing the experiment geometry. Such spectrometers possess a good definite dependence of the transfer energy on momentum transfer. This allows one to extract complementary to optical methods information from the experimental data. The KDSOG-M spectrometer was created at the IBR-2 pulsed reactor of JINR for investigation of the lattice dynamics of solids and simultaneous analysis of the phase structure of samples. For analysis of the scattering neutron energy polycrystal filters and single crystals are used. Creation of the IN-06 neutron source based on the proton accelerator of the Moscow meson factory leads to the necessary formation of a scientific research program for condensed matter physics. Re-equipment of the KDSOG-M spectrometer for use at the IN-06 neutron source includes preparation of an instrumental basis for carrying out experiments in solid state physics and other fields (biophysics, applied science and so on). This work is a project for transfer and updating the inverse geometry inelastic neutron scattering spectrometer KDSOG-M for use at the IN-06 neutron source of Moscow meson factory.
