Quokka: the small-angle neutron scattering instrument at OPAL

A small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) instrument is being designed as part of the initial instrument suite for the 20-MW OPAL Reactor. The new instrument, receiving neutrons from a large liquid-D2 cold source, will be in the spirit of the worlds best facilities and will greatly build upon the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisations existing expertise and facilities. Scheduled for completion in July 2006, it will provide Australian and international researchers with opportunities to access state-of-the-art SANS instrumentation. The details of the new SANS will be presented. © The Authors
