A New Neutron Small-Angle Diffraction Instrument at the Brookhaven High Flux Beam Reactor

  • Chapter
Neutrons in Biology

Part of the book series: Basic Life Sciences ((BLSC,volume 27))

Abstract

The construction of a reentrant cold source at the Brookhaven High Flux Beam Reactor over the past few years, and its sucessful operation since 1981, have made available an intense long wavelength neutron source that is ideally suited for the investigation of complex biological structures (1). This development and the more recent increase in reactor power to 60 MW encouraged the construction of a new small-angle neutron diffraction instrument.
