Priority:

Status:

Approved for completion
in 2008

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

Leaders:

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 2008:

Design of a prototype 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, purchase of materials and components).
Design (in cooperation with INRNE BAS, Sofia) of a curved position-sensitive X-ray detector (manufacturing of a case and electrodes for the detector, design and manufacturing of analog electronics).
Manufacturing of modules of the ASTRA detector for the FSD diffractometer.
Creation (in cooperation with PNPI) of a curved mirror neutron guide on beam 7a of the IBR-2 reactor (manufacturing of a set of vacuum jackets and mechanical constructions of the neutron guide).
Modeling, manufacturing and testing of new electronic blocks for the IBR-2M spectrometers.
Creation of cable infrastructure of the network segment of the IBR-2 experimental halls (Gigabit Ethernet), support and development of the local area network.
Development of a control system of actuating mechanisms of the IBR-2 spectrometers on the basis of industrial standard CAN (manufacturing of CAN controllers, replacement of electric drives of the choppers).
Modernization and support of infrastructure of engineer and programmer work places.
Purchase of equipment and creation of vacuum test bench to develop cryogen-free technology for cryostats of the IBR-2M spectrometers.
Development of the Sonix+ software package.
