IN20

A general view of IN20 equiped with the TASSE option.

With Spin Echo option (TASSE)

IN20 is a thermal beam three-axis spectrometer equipped for inelastic scattering experiments with 1D and 3D (CRYOPAD) polarisation analysis, and for excitation line-width studies using the thermal beam spin-echo technique (TASSE).

The short movies below where shot in 2002 during the experiment (4-01-530): "Neutron spin-echo study of phonon line-widths and energies in Ge and Si".
This is a typical experiment where adding the TASSE option on IN20 is invaluable. The neutron spin-echo technique dramatically improves the energy resolution  compared to the conventional TAS setup.

From back to foreground you can see :

- the monochromator housing of IN20,
- the primary superconducting coil vessel (TASSE),
- the sample cryostat (orange),
- the secondary superconducting coil vessel with its cryogenic device (TASSE),
- the analyser shielding,
- the neutron detector (lower right corner).
