Description

To gain in intensity and realize a grazing-incidence small-angle scattering (GISAS) measurement on a pulsed neutron reflectometer, we are now developing focusing devices using a cylindrically bent supermirror coated on a flat float glass substrate. They have been characterized at pulsed neutron sources, and we successfully focused neutron beam into about 1mm width in either vertical or horizontal direction using the bent mirror with the focal distance of about 4 m.
