The Present and the New HFR-Petten SANS Facility
A great deal of the properties of materials is influenced by phenomena
taking place in the sub-micron region. Scattering techniques play an
important role for obtaining structural information. Small-Angle
Neutron-Scattering (SANS) is one such scattering technique by which one can
obtain structural information of the material being studied. Structural
information here means size and form of the object under investigation. In a
SANS experiment one collects data as a function of the momentum transfer
which is proportional to the scattering angle. The probed length scales by
SANS varies from a few nanometres to 600 nanometres. In this paper we
present the present status of the SANS facility with a preliminary
measurement on core-shell particles. Furthermore, we look at the future
perspectives of upgrading the facility to enhance the neutron flux at the
sample position.
