E1

Thermal Neutron 3-Axis Spectrometer

The instrument was decommissiond in 2016.

Instrument description

Applications

  • ellastic experiments, if very low background is needed
  • very limited performance on the field of inellastic neutron scattering

Selected examples

incommensurate-commensurate phase transition in CsCuCl
