Conceptual Polarization Setup at CENTAUR, the SANS/WANS Instrument at the Second Target Station of SNS

Abstract

Abstract CENTAUR is a multifunctional general purpose small-angle and wide-angle neutron scattering instrument with diffraction and spectroscopic capability in the future Second Target Station at the Spallation Neutron Source of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. To fill a gap in neutron polarization capability, the instrument will be designed to provide polarization analysis. Here we present the conceptual polarization setup at CENTAUR, as well as the Spin Echo Modulated Small-Angle Neutron Scattering setup which will further expand the length scale covered by the instrument.
