Imaging Instrument

In order to serve a growing multidisciplinary community beyond the traditional scattering areas, an energy-selective neutron imaging instrument is proposed in the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS). The instrument is planned to provide analytical techniques such as state-of-the-art energy-selective neutron imaging, neutron radiography, tomography, polarized neutron imaging, neutron phase contrast imaging, and combined neutron diffraction. Coupled hydrogen moderator (CHM) will be chosen as its neutron source. A flight path of 40 m from moderator to sample will provide good energy resolution better than ~0.4%. Super mirror neutron guide will be used to transport neutron from moderator to aperture selector. Aperture selector with 5 apertures and a set of slits will be used to adjust the neutron beam for different modalities. The best spatial resolution will be 50 μm. Different types of detectors will be needed including high spatial resolution CCD camera, TOF detector, and scintillator detector. With a main emphasis on advanced materials and engineering studies, the instrument will enable 2D/3D mapping of the microstructure, chemical composition, and crystallographic structure (grain size, stress and strain, phase position, texture, and so on). It will also support a broad range of studies in archaeology, biology, biomedicine, geosciences, building technology, manufacturing processes, forensic, and homeland security applications.

Imaging Instrument

The neutron imaging instrument CONRAD was operated as a part of the user program of the research reactor BER-II at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) from 2005 to 2020. The instrument was designed to use the neutron flux from the cold source of the reactor, transported by a curved neutron guide. The pure cold neutron spectrum provided a great advantage in the use of different neutron optical components such as focusing lenses and guides, solid-state polarizers, monochromators and phase gratings. The flexible setup of the instrument allowed for implementation of new methods including wavelength-selective, dark-field, phase-contrast and imaging with polarized neutrons. In summary, these developments helped to attract a large number of scientists and industrial customers, who were introduced to neutron imaging and subsequently contributed to the expansion of the neutron imaging community.

Imaging Instrument

The construction of the new neutron imaging instrument at the BER-2 research reactor of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin has greatly increased the potential of the facility. The redesign of the facility included improvements of the neutron extraction and transportation systems, more effective shielding, and innovative instrumentation. The cold neutron flux at the neutron guide exit was increased by more than one order of magnitude, which allowed for an implementation of methods that require monochromatic or polarized beams, thus enabling the exploitation of nonconventional contrast mechanisms such as phase, diffraction and magnetic contrasts. The improved instrument design also facilitates the development of high-resolution neutron tomography by providing an increased beam intensity at the sample position.
