Description
EMU is the high-resolution neutron spectrometer installed at the OPAL reactor, ANSTO, which delivers 1 µeV FWHM energy transfer resolution for an accessible ±31 µeV energy transfer range. The spectral resolution is achieved by neutron backscattering from Si (111) crystals on the primary and secondary flight paths, allowing up to 1.95 Å-1 momentum transfer range. The spectrometer is well for suited quasi-elastic and inelastic neutron scattering studies, notably in the field of soft-condensed mater including biophysics and polymer science, chemistry and materials science, and geosciences.
Most experiments are carried out with standard cryo-furnaces (2 to 800 K temperature range). Spectrometer beam-time access is merit-based, thus welcoming experiments as well in other materials research areas, and including experiments that may require e.g., other ancillary equipment such as existing controlled-gas delivery, and potentially pressure, applied field set-ups, etc. We will present examples of the spectrometer capabilities through select case studies.
