摘要
Here we report on the development of polarization analysis (PA) techniques to be employed at the ISIS pulsed neutron source second target station. Both spin exchange optical pumping and metastability exchange optical pumping techniques are being developed at ISIS to produce polarized neutron spin filters for use as neutron polarizers and analysers. We focus on the developments of a polarization solution on the LET spectrometer, including the updated design of the PASTIS XYZ coil set and single crystal silicon analyser cell. We also report on the construction of a combined polarizer/analyser solution for the WISH diffractometer. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
