Current status of CG-1D imaging beamline at Oak Ridge National Laboratory High Flux Isotope Reactor and addition of new capabilities to the beam line

Orateur : Indu DHIMAN (Oak Ridge National Laboratory - USA)

The CG-1D cold neutron imaging facility utilizes a polychromatic neutron beam in the wavelength range of 0.8 < λ < 6 Å, with variation in L/D distance from 400 to 800. Its field of view is 28 mm x 28 mm, resolution between 50–200µm. We plan to implement new capabilities to this beamline, which includes imaging with polarized neutrons, and grating interferometry. Addition of these techniques will provide new tools to the user community covering various research problems over a wider range of topics. This beamline covers several research topics in the field of materials science, additive manufacturing to investigate porosity, and internal structures, battery research Ion transport in energy storage materials, water uptake in plants, and different types of rocks and shales. In addition, industrial research including fuel injectors is also carried out at this beamline. With the development of these new capabilities we want to improve scientific output of the facility, covering research areas such as superconductivity, materials research and attract users from condensed matter physics field. Description of the current research work being carried out at this facility with examples, in addition to the details of new possibilities at the beam line will be presented.
