Abstract
A small-angle neutron scattering instrument (Quokka) is being built as part of the initial instrument suite for the 20 MW Australian Research Reactor, OPAL. The 40 m long instrument will be located at the end of a curved supermirror neutron guide and will receive neutrons from a large liquid-D2 cold source. The instrument will have incident beam polarisation and focusing optics using MgF2 lenses and gravity-correcting prisms in the collimation system. The secondary flight path includes a 1 m2 area detector with high-speed data acquisition electronics with provision for the inclusion of polarisation analysis at a later date. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.
