Abstract

Neutron imaging is a powerful tool used for inspecting internal structures and studying macroscale particle dynamics. This work is performed at the Multimodal Advanced Radiography Station (MARS), which is the cold-neutron imaging beamline at the High-Flux Isotope Reactor at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Herein is a summary of recent upgrades to instrumentation, software, and methods, driven by needs from the user community. Planned upgrades within the next decade are included that will significantly enhance instrument capability and performance.
