A new single crystal time-of-flight neutron diffractometer has been installed at BL18 of the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility of J-PARC. The diffractometer "SENJU" was designed for precise crystal and magnetic structure analyses using a small crystal less than 1.0 mm under multiple extreme environments such as low-temperature and high-magnetic field. The first neutron beam was delivered to the sample position on March 5, 2012. Subsequently, the hardware and software of SENJU have been checked and confirmed that they worked fine. At the same time, diffraction experiments of several organic and inorganic crystals have been done using NaCl, C12A7, and so on. In these measurements, Bragg reflections in the high-Q region (d-spacing 0.5 ) were clearly observed and analyzed successfully. In this presentation, we will show the instrument design and performance evaluation of SENJU in detail.

SENJU is a new single crystal diffractometer for spallation neutron source in Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF) at Japan Photon Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). It is currently under construction and is scheduled to be complete by spring 2011. The diffractometer is esigned to perform diffraction experiment under various environmental conditions, and the crystal and magnetic structure of materials whose lattice constants up to 50 will be studied. SENJU also shed light on the superlattice reflection or diffuse scattering in the reciprocal lattice space to analyze the local structures as well as phase transitions of the materials. At the beginning, the diffractometer will have 31 two-dimensional scintillation detectors to observe the wide area of reciprocal lattice space by one measurement. Various sample environments will be provided, such as cryogenic cooling and magnetic field.

A new single crystal diffractometer SENJU is currently under construction in the MLF BL18 at J-PARC. SENJU is designed to collect diffraction data by use of a laboratory XRD specimen size, and aimed for a precise structure analysis under combined environmental conditions. Very wide variety of experiments will be performed, such as low-temperature, under magnetic field, high pressure, and so on. As for the most important component, detector system, is improved and optimized version of that of the iBIX system which is currently working well. The construction of SENJU will be completed in March 2011, and the instrument will be received the first neutron before summer maintenance period of 2011.

A new single crystal neutron diffractometer SENJU is now under construction at a high pace in MLF at J-PARC. SENJU will realize precise structure analysis under the combined extreme conditions such as high-magnetic field and low temperature. The construction will be completed at the end of 2010 fiscal year, and has aimed at the first beam acceptance before the summer of 2011. In the presentation, detailed instrument specs will be introduced, and a concrete sample environment etc. will be described.

SENJU, named after the thousand armed Goddess of Mercy, is a single crystal time-of-flight Laue diffractometer proposed to the MLF at J-PARC. The diffractometer is dedicated for precise crystal and magnetic structure analyses under the combined extreme conditions using a small sample less than 1 . TOF-Laue technique coupled with wide area 2D detectors enables the efficient measurements and improves the completeness of the data. A WLSF-type scintillator detector developed for iBIX was modified to meet the requirements of SENJU. Although the construction schedule has been delayed because of the earthquake, on-beam commissioning will start in 2012.
