Title: The NCNR Spin-Polarized Triple-Axis Spectrometer (SPINS)


1
The NCNR Spin-Polarized Triple-Axis Spectrometer
(SPINS)
The SPINS instrument is located at the heart of
the cold neutron guide hall of the NIST Center
for Neutron Research.

The SPINS Operation Modes IConventional
Triple-Axis Spectroscopy (TAS)
A single point at a time
TAS is ideally suited for probing small regions
of phase space
Shortcoming Low data collection rate
4
The SPINS Operation Modes II Horizontally
Focusing (HF) Analyzer Mode
Relaxed Q-resolution
Useful for studying systems with short-range
correlations
5
The SPINS Operation Modes III Multiplexing
Detection System for TAS
1meV

Probes scattering events at different energy and
momentum transfers simultaneously
Survey (hw-Q) space by changing the incident
energy and scattering angle

The SPINS Operation Modes IV Position-Sensitive
Detector in Two-Axis Mode
The filter passes only those neutrons with 0 lt Ef
