Progress Towards Neutron Tomography at the US Spallation Neutron Source
The new US Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) provides a world‐class source of pulsed neutrons which may be useful for neutron tomography experiments in the geosciences. The geosciences have been quick to use new imaging methods, both in the field and in the laboratory. In brief, the SNS experimental hall has room as of Fall, 2009, for a neutron tomography beamline and its neutron science advisory committee is considering the application for space on the floor. The VErsatile Neutron Imaging InstrUment at SNS (VENUS) neutron tomography beamline design takes advantage of the unique pulse neutron flux produced at SNS. Members of the geoscience community are already familiar with time‐of‐flight methods as used in seismic imaging; many of the same issues ‐ finite time duration of the initial pulse, propagation distances and media, and detector time resolution ‐ are found in imaging with pulsed neutrons sources. imaging; neutron flux; nuclear spallation; single photon emission computed tomography; time of flight mass spectra
