Abstract
New perspectives for epithermal neutron spectroscopy have been opened up as a result of the development of the Resonance Detector and its use on inverse geometry time-of-flight spectrometers at spallation sources. A special application of the Resonance Detector is the Very Low Angle Detector Bank (VLAD) for the VESUVIO spectrometer at ISIS, operating in the angular range 1 degrees < 2 theta < 5 degrees. This equipment allows High-energy Inelastic Neutron Scattering (HINS) measurements to be performed in the (q,omega) kinematical region at low wavevector (q < 10 angstrom(-1)) and high energy (unlimited) transfer h omega > 500meV, a regime so far inaccessible to experimental studies on condensed matter systems. The HINS measurements complement the Deep Inelastic Neutron Scattering (DINS) measurements performed on VESUVIO in the high wavevector q (20 angstrom < q < 250 angstrom(-1)) and high energy transfer (h omega > 1 eV), where the short-time single-particle dynamics can be sampled. This paper will revise the main components of the resolution for HINS measurements of VESUVIO. Instrument performances and examples of applications for neutron scattering processes at high energy and at low wavevector transfer are discussed. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V.
