TARGET 2: Blue Room

In neutron resonance spectroscopy, the Proton Storage Ring (PSR) beam is used to produce an intense single pulse of neutrons for measuring the temperature and particle velocities of dynamic systems at different times during their evolution. The temperature is obtained by measuring the doppler broadening of low-energy neutron resonances.


Single pulses from the PSR beam are used to study the shock induced by the incident beam on a liquid-mercury target for the Spallation Neutron Source, Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
