The neutron spin-echo spectrometer: A new high resolution technique in neutron scattering

Linda K. Nicholson

Abstract

The neutron spin-echo (NSE) spectrometar provides the highest energy resolution available in neutron scattering experiments. The article describes the principles behind the first NSE spectrometer (at the Institute Laue-Langevin, Grenoble, France) and, as an example of one of its applications, some recent results on polymer chain dynamics are presented.
