Conference Paper
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,…

ORNL Report
The Main Shutter at HB4 will serve two purposes after the HFIR Beryllium Reflector Replacement, planned to take place in 2028. First as the primary certified safety control permitting the passage of neutrons from the cold source in the HFIR pressure vessel into the cold guide hall, and second as the first set of reflecting surfaces used to guide neutrons from the source an…

ORNL Report
The NB2 Guide Design is used to provide a defined neutron beam flux to at least one monochromator and an end station. The known monochromator configuration will support a sample alignment station and the end station will be able to accommodate either a neutron polarization development instrument or a spin echo neutron spectrometer, as well as the potential for additional m…

CHESS, chopper spectrometer examining small samples, is a planned direct geometry neutron chopper spectrometer designed to detect and analyze weak signals intrinsic to small cross sections (e.g., small mass, small magnetic moments, or neutron absorbing materials) in powders, liquids, and crystals. CHESS is optimized to enable transformative investigations of quantum materi…

Materials engineering by neutron scattering (MENUS) at the second target station will be a transformational high-flux, versatile, multiscale materials engineering diffraction beamline with unprecedented new capabilities for the study of complex materials and structures. It will support both fundamental and applied materials research in a broad range of fields. MENUS will c…

The Second Target Station (STS) at the Spallation Neutron Source, including a suite of initial instrument concepts, are being designed in Oak Ridge. The moderator size at STS is significantly smaller than that of the First Target Station, making the guide misalignment a more prominent concern. A realistic misalignment model based on Monte Carlo neutron ray tracing simulati…
