Priority:

Status:

In-progress

Development and Creation of Elements of Neutron Spectrometers
for Condensed Matter Investigations

Leader:

A.V. Belushkin
V.I. Prikhodko

Scientific Programme:
Research, development, manufacturing of prototypes and working models of gas position-sensitive and wide-aperture scintillation neutron detectors.
Development of new sample environment systems and executing mechanisms, and modernization of the existing ones.
Development and creation of new generation of data acquisition and experiment automation systems for the IBR-2 spectrometer complex.
Development of the FLNP computing infrastructure.

Expected main results in 2007:

Design of neutron position-sensitive detector based on multi-wire proportional chamber with individual data readout from each wire (design and manufacturing of the detector case and electrodes, design of read-out electronics and data acquisition electronics, purchase of materials and components).
Creation of module scintillation detector on the basis of matrix photomultipliers (development of the detector design, design of data accumulation electronics, measurement of characteristics of the assembly - matrix photomultiplier + scintillation screen).
Manufacturing of 8 modules of the ASTRA detector for the FSD diffractometer.
Creation (in cooperation with PNPI) of bent reflector neutron guide on beam 7a of the IBR-2 reactor (calculations and selection of a variant of optical channel, design, purchase of materials, manufacturing of optical elements (PNPI) and mechanical constructions of the head part of the neutron guide).
Modeling, manufacturing and testing of electronic blocks for multicounter systems and PSD with delay lines.
Creation of cable infrastructure of the network segment of the IBR-2 experimental halls (Gigabit Ethernet).
Development of a control block of actuating mechanisms of the IBR-2 spectrometers on the basis of industrial standard CAN.
Modernization and support of infrastructure of engineer and programmer work places.
Creation of vacuum test bench to improve "cryogen free" technology for the IBR-2M spectrometers.
Development of the Sonix+ software package for remote control over experiments.
