Description
Technical Field
The disclosure belongs to a neutron optical device, and relates to a neutron collimator structure with a continuously adjustable divergence angle and a calibration method thereof, in particular to a neutron collimator structure with a continuously adjustable divergence angle based on changing the interval of neutron absorption layers and a calibration method of the divergence angle of the neutron collimator structure.
Background

Because neutrons generated by a reactor or a spallation source are scattered in the direction of 4 pi, the divergence angle of neutron beam current led out from a pore channel is large, and the measurement of momentum change requires that incident neutrons have a determined direction, a neutron scattering spectrometer generally needs to use a neutron collimator to limit the direction of the incident neutrons, so that the purposes of improving the resolution ratio and improving the signal-to-noise ratio are achieved. Generally, neutron scattering spectrometers require the use of neutron collimators with different neutron divergence angles for different types of experimental measurements.
The neutron divergence angle of the currently used neutron collimator is determined already during manufacturing and cannot be adjusted according to the use requirement; in addition, the neutron collimator is generally arranged in the shielding body, and the collimators with different divergence angles cannot be replaced at any time according to requirements. Therefore, in order to complete different neutron experiments, a common neutron spectrometer can be provided with several common neutron collimators with divergence angles in a shielding body in advance, but due to the fact that the space inside the shielding body is limited, the required various collimators cannot be installed, all the requirements of the neutron experiments cannot be met, and a great deal of expenditure is needed for replacing the collimators for a long time and purchasing the collimators of various types.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide a neutron collimator structure capable of continuously adjusting the divergence angle, which can continuously adjust the neutron divergence angle in one neutron collimator, so that it is not necessary to install a plurality of neutron collimators with different divergence angles, and the adjustment of the divergence angle can be realized in one neutron collimator structure according to the actual requirements, thereby satisfying the operating requirements of various neutron experiments, avoiding the trouble of pre-installing neutron collimators with various divergence angles in a shield and the trouble of replacement, and saving the precious neutron beam time and expense.
