Utilization of an Event-Recording System for Neutron Diffraction Experiments

Article Preview

Abstract:

We present effectivity of an event-recording system in neutron diffraction experiments at the Engineering Materials Diffractometer TAKUMI at the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility in J-PARC. We developed an event-recording system for recording information of neutron generation and detection and sample environmental conditions like load, strain, etc. as events with synchronized timing tag across whole system, and developed a software to handle the event data. It gave us several advantages by allowing us flexible data reduction depending on users’ purposes, especially for time resolved experiments. We demonstrated in situ neutron diffraction measurements using these new recording system and software to show the advantages. These new system and software are very attractive to be applied for measurements that need stroboscopic data collection such as fatigue tests.
