Characterization of the new neutron imaging and materials science facility IMAT

Crystalline Characterization of TlBr Semiconductor Detectors Using Wavelength-resolved Neutron Imaging

“…We acquired energy-resolved neutron images at the IMAT beamline at the pulsed neutron facility ISIS, UK. (10,11) In this experiment, the neutron flux was roughly 5 × 10 6 n/cm 2 /s. The neutron wavelength can be determined by the neutron time-of-flight method using a timeresolving detector.…”

Energy Resolved Imaging using the GP2 Detector: Progress in Instrumentation, Methods and Data Analysis

“…The 'register' feature is sensor-level memory allowing up to 4 events per pixel to be buffered between readout operations. This paper focuses on the recent use of the detector at two time-offlight imaging beamlines: IMAT [3] at the ISIS source, UK, and the ESS test beamline V20 [4] located at HZB, Germany. In the case of IMAT, where the detector is available to the user programme, further detail is provided to describe integration into the existing beamline infrastructure.…”

Time-of-Flight Neutron Imaging on IMAT@ISIS: A New User Facility for Materials Science

“…The fast development of TOF imaging is driven by the need for advanced materials research. In the past decade there have been significant developments in the design and installation of new imaging instruments on the one hand [2,[25][26][27][28][29], and advances with detection systems on the other hand [30][31][32][33]. Accordingly, the available instruments and methods have made substantial progress since the early feasibility studies using a gated CCD camera [1].…”

“…Accordingly, the available instruments and methods have made substantial progress since the early feasibility studies using a gated CCD camera [1]. Notably, two dedicated neutron imaging user facilities have been constructed at pulsed sources, namely RADEN [2] at J-PARC and IMAT [25,26,29] at ISIS. IMAT was installed on the 10 Hz pulsed source of the ISIS second target station at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, with substantial in-kind contributions from the Italian CNR.…”

“…The beamline has recently seen cold and hot commissioning and is now being prepared for a user program. The instrument parameters have been determined [29], and the imaging cameras have been characterized [31,34,35].…”
