Times Cited Count：133 Percentile：95.75(Physics, Multidisciplinary)AMATERAS is a cold-neutron disk-chopper spectrometer in MLF, J-PARC. The construction of main part of the spectrometer has been completed in spring of 2009. Soon after that, we have started the commissioning work on AMATERAS. The performance of AMATERAS has been examined by test experiments in the course of commissioning. In parallel to these works, we have started the user program on AMATERAS from December 2009 and we are getting scientific results from our spectrometer. In this presentation, we will report the current status of AMATERAS including the results of performance tests and some of examples of scientific outputs.

Times Cited Count：2 Percentile：21.97(Instruments & Instrumentation)We have developed a novel configuration concept of crystal-chips for a time-of-flight (TOF) crystal-analyzer neutron inelastic scattering spectrometer, which simultaneously achieves time-focusing, spatial-focusing and momentum-correcting abilities. This concept will be adopted to a coming TOF near-backscattering spectrometer, DIANA which has been proposed to construct at Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). At first, layout method satisfying both of the time- and spatial-focusing concepts and momentum-correction concept have been introduced briefly, and then, the focusing performances have been evaluated by Monte-Carlo simulations. Simulations have been performed on a generally-used energy-focusing analyzer as a comparison.

Times Cited Count：7 Percentile：34.52(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)A near-backscattering crystal-analyzer neutron inelastic spectrometer, DIANA has been proposed to construct at Materials and Life Science Facility (MLF) of Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). It has firstly been designed to see a decoupled non-poisoned moderator in order to obtain higher intensity and better energy resolution. In deed, the decoupled moderator has a narrower pulse width than a coupled moderator, and so it will give us a better energy resolution. However, the peak neutron flux of the decoupled moderator has only a half of the coupled moderator. In order to decide the best choice of this type of near-backscattering instruments, we have reconsidered instrumental parameters including the type of moderators. We have performed Monte-Carlo neutron ray-tracing simulations, using McStas and have compared these results in various viewpoints such as intensities, resolutions, shape of resolution functions, scan ranges and so on.

A Si crystal analyzer near backscattering spectrometer DNA which covers the area of the micro-eV energy range in the Q-E space, where it is expected to explore sciences on atomic, molecular and spin dynamics in the nanosecond time range has been installed at BL02 of the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) until at the end of February 2012. Then, various on-beam commissioning has been done for about a year with handling continuing user program. In this report, we will introduce specifications, current status of the instrument.

AMATERAS is a cold-neutron disk-chopper spectrometer newly installed at MLF, J-PARC. The spectrometer has pulse shaping chopper which can cat the source pulse shape as it is required by the experiments. By using newly developed high-speed disk-choppers, the spectrometer realizes both high energy resolution and high intensity with high flexibility in the cold and thermal neutron energy region. The construction of the spectrometer has been completed in spring of 2009. After the commissioning works, now the spectrometer is open to users. In this presentation, we will show the evaluated performances which were obtained in commissioning works.

We are planning and partially beginning the construction of the near backscattering Si crystal analyzer spectrometer DNA at the Material and Life Science Facility (MLF), J-PARC. The optical specification of DNA is as follows. In the center of the vacuum chamber, a sample position is located at 42 m away form the coupled moderator. The analyzer banks of Si(111) and Si(311) single crystal wafers which are pasted on the spherical surface, are mounted at the right and left side each in the vacuum chamber. The Bragg angle of those analyzer crystals are about 87.5 deg and the distance between the sample position and the analyzer crystal is about 2.3 m. The analyzed neutron beams are detected by the 
Hee gas position sensitive detector located at around the sample position. Then the expected energy resolution and the dynamic range of the Si(111) crystal analyzer are about 1 micro-eV and 
40 micro-eV, respectively. We will report the optical principle and specification of DNA spectrometer.

AMATERAS is a cold-neutron disk-chopper spectrometer in Materials and Life science Facility in J-PARC. By combination of high-peak intensity from a H
-coupled moderator source and newly developed high-speed disk-choppers (the maximum revolution: 350Hz, the minimum burst time: 7.6 
sec.) for pulse shaping and monochromating, the spectrometer realizes both high-resolution (
) and high-intensity (one order of magnitude higher than the present state-of-the-art chopper spectrometers) in the range of 
meV, and can show sufficient performance up to 
80 meV. Construction of AMTERAS has been completed in March 2009 and the spectrometer is at commissioning phase. In this presentation, we will report the current status of AMATERAS including the first results obtained at commissioning.
