High-efficiency neutron transport using magnetic gradient with permanent magnets
2021
Neutron guide tubes are used to transport neutrons efficiently. However, it requires very precise alignment, which is costly and vulnerable to shocks from earthquakes and other incident. It also is very sensitive to the surface condition such as cracks or dusts on the mirror. We are developing a new type of neutron mirror by utilizing the deflection of neutrons in a gradient magnetic field. This paper presents experimental results obtained using neutron beams at SOFIA (MLF).
