Installation of the BSI shielding
Installation of the BSI shielding: Dimensions were verified as part of the on site acceptance (and to ensure it will fit into place), then filled with heavy concrete and installed as first part of shielding downstream from the BL-12 shutter.

 

Detector Array
Detector array to cover more than 2.5 sr of real space. Each dark brown square is the front face of a 2-D energy dispersive Anger camera detector.

 

Inside the sample enclosure
View inside the sample enclosure: in front are the interchangeable focusing optics within 2 m upstream of the sample. This allows focusing between an area of 0.1 mm x 0.1 mm and 3 mm x 3 mm. The fully populated detector array with sample loading from the top encloses the sample position spherically.

 


Dr. G. Jones and T. Tong are placing the prepared polarizer unit in the SCD-instrument at the Intense Pulsed Neutron Source for on-line testing of this beam conditioning component.

 

Overview Schematic
Instrument overview: Cutout of instrument enclosure with the interchangeable optics upstream of the detector arrangement surrounding the sample position and environment. Downstream are get lost tube and beam stop. Electronics and support equipment is along the back wall of the enclosure. Behind the enclosure are computer and data analysis room (top level) and sample preparation facilities (bottom level).
