D11 Lowest momentum transfer & lowest background small-angle neutron scattering instrument

How it works

How does the D11 SANS instrument work?

D11 is the archetype of a long, pinhole geometry instrument for small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), designed for the study of large scale structures in chemistry, biology and solid state physics.

The animation shows how measurements are performed.
