Abstract:
A novel set of superconducting main precession coils has been built and installed in the Jülich-neutron spin-echo (J-NSE) spectrometer at the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ) in Garching. These unique new coils comprise a field-integral optimizing field shape, fringe field compensation, and high stability. They yield an enhancement of a factor of 2.5 in the intrinsic field-integral homogeneity, i.e., the resolution. The coil concept has been developed for the ESSENSE instrument proposal for the European Spallation Source. We report on the construction of and on the first results from the new superconducting neutron spin-echo spectrometer at the MLZ in Garching where the coils are the main part of a refurbishment of the J-NSE spectrometer after twenty years of operation.

Imagine the sound is reflected back to the ears. Assuming that the source is very close to the human, the difference between hearing the two sounds—the emitted sound and the reflected sound—may be more than the minimum time for perceiving distinct sounds. If this is the case,...
