Update on polarised neutron capabilities at the Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering

Abstract

The Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering offers neutron polarisation capabilities which are compatible with six different neutron scattering instruments, using a combination of polarising supermirrors and 3He cell spin filters. An overview of these capabilities will be given, followed by a description of some recent experiments which make use of a variety of these capabilities on instruments, including the cold triple-axis spectrometer Sika, and the small-angle neutron scattering instrument Quokka with a recently-commissioned 7 T compensated vertical magnet. Finally, current and future work to expand capabilities will be outlined, such as a new system for polarisation analysis experiments with magnetic … © 2021 The Authors
