I had a poster at the MLZ User Meeting recently and asked the people to complement the "sub-graph" of neutron techniques in PaNET by adding sticky notes.
I had an overwhelming amount of 30 comments, which I want to share with you. This is mostly for your information, without any direct action imposed. I try to group the comments for a better overview
New techniques
scanning positron microscopy- GISANS =
gracing incidence small angle neutron scattering
half-polarized diffraction (purpose: magnetic susceptibility)neutron imaging
neutron tomography- add relationship to
high-resolution neutron imaging
neutron diffraction tomography
TOF neutron diffractionneutron Laue diffraction; x-ray Laue diffraction; investigate the actual definitions for x-ray and neutrons, for neutron supposedly a white beam techniquetotal neutron diffraction (purpose: determine magnetic structure)
PDF (pair distribution function) for powder samplesΔ-PDF for single crystals
- time-resolved ...
LARMOR, mainly for single crystals; niche topic for powder samples
LARMOR diffraction (high angular resolution)
MIEZE; subclass of spin echo, TOF; purpose: magnetismhot neutron single crystal diffractionneutron activation analysisdiffuse neutron scatteringneutron spectroscopy
triple axis neutron spectroscopy
spherical neutron polarimetryquasi-monochromatic beam (for neutrons) = pink beam (for x-rays)transmutation as subclass of manufacturing
- subclass:
neutron activation analysis
- subclass:
prompt gamma activation analysis
- pulsed vs continuous source; pulsed beam can also be produced by continuous source plus chopper
New energies
hot neutrons; part of epithermal neutronsfusion neutrons; purpose: testing material for fusion powerultra cold neutrons
Updating Information
- rename
spin echo scattering to spin echo spectroscopy
- pulsed neutron TOF is unconnected to other TOF techniques
neutron powder diffraction unconnected; connect to subclass: high resolution thermal neutron powder diffractionspin echo:
- add relationship to SANS
- subclass of
cold neutron spectrosocpy
Misc
- include particle physics: neutron/antineutron and positron research
coherence is property of a probe; elasticity is part of scattering; consult HERCULES books- XFEL vs synchrotron research: same technique, but different nature of information
neutron imaging is not part of neutron scattering, everything else is
