MSEL (Materials Science and Engineering Laboratory) FY 2001 Programs and Accomplishments, NIST Center for Neutron Research.

摘要

As this is being written, we have just begun a three-month shutdown during which we will, among other changes, install a next generation liquid hydrogen cold source, which will increase cold neutron intensities by almost a factor of two. This is an excellent example of the necessary operating philosophy for any facility-improvement and change are the only constants. During the past, we have had many changes in reactor systems, in instrumentation, in staff, and in science, all of which are aimed at continuing the development of the NIST Center for Neutron Research as a first rate neutron facility.
