Neutron devices such as neutron detectors, optical devices including supermirror devices and He neutron spin filters, and choppers are successfully developed and installed at the Materials Life Science Facility (MLF) of the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC), Tokai, Japan. Four software components of MLF computational environment, instrument control, data acquisition, data analysis, and a database, have been developed and equipped at MLF. MLF also provides a wide variety of sample environment options including high and low temperatures, high magnetic fields, and high pressures. This paper describes the current status of neutron devices, computational and sample environments at MLF.

The ENGIN-X type linear scintillation neutron detector was manufactured in Japan and the detector performances were evaluated. The ENGIN-X type linear scintillation neutron detector was originally developed by the detector group in Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and the Japanese prototype detector was identical to that which is one of the detector modules installed in the ENGIN-X diffractometer at ISIS pulsed neutron source. The prototype detector can install 240 elements of neutron-sensitive scintillator, where each element has 3 mm in width and 196 mm in length. The prototype detector exhibited a spatial resolution of 3 mm, detection efficiency of 64% for neutrons with wave-lengths of 1.8, count uniformity of 67%, Co sensitivity of 510. Technological transfer to the Japanese manufacturer was done successfully and the mass production of these detectors for the J-PARC project is feasible.

4SEASONS is one of the neutron chopper spectrometers in J-PARC/MLF. It is intended to provide very high counting rate up to 300 meV neutron energy with medium resolution (% at ) to efficiently collect weak inelastic signals from novel spin and lattice dynamics especially in high- superconductors and related materials. To achieve this goal, the spectrometer equips advanced instrumental design such as an elliptic-shaped converging neutron guide coated with high- (-4) supermirror, long-length (2.5 m) He PSDs arranged cylindrically inside the vacuum scattering chamber. Furthermore, the spectrometer is ready for multi-incident-energy measurements by the repetition rate multiplication method with a special Fermi chopper, and polarization analysis with He spin filters. 4SEASONS is now under construction and will be ready to use in December 2008. In this paper, we show the design of 4SEASONS and current status of its construction.
