After the magnets arrived we started a measurement of the magnetic field between the pole shoes. This was done by using a Hall probe attached on a translation stage. The first image shows the results of a simulation, done with the … Continue reading →

Rob Dalgliesh from ISIS shows to Chris Duif and Jurrian Bakker from Delft the sample position at Larmor just before the first neutrons will arrive.  On the left you can see the position sensitive detector.

The LARMOR project was presented at the workshop New Horizons in Polymer Characterisation organised by the Dutch Polymer Institute (DPI) on Thursday 23 January 2014, in Eindhoven. The presentation can be downloaded here.

The strength of neutrons in soft matter investigations lies in the direct sensitivity to the relevant time and length scales as well as in the ability to distinguish between hydrogen and deuterium, the so-called contrast variation method. The SANS, SESANS, … Continue reading →
