Our Latest Neutron Source. How the New Harwell Linac (HELIOS) Opens Up the Field of Neutron Scattering from Solids and Liquids.

摘要

An outline is given of the history of neutron scattering showing that while reactors are suitable for thermal or long wavelength neutrons, pulsed neutron sources become increasingly efficient as the neutron wavelength is reduced. A description of Helios - the new Harwell linac providing a facility for 'hot'-neutron scattering is presented and the types of new work for which it is hoped Helios will be used are suggested.
