项目摘要

The characteristic performances of the fall focusing gravity spectrometer with ultracold neutrons developed in our Institute were investigated to be the high resolutions for both of the energy transfer and of the momentum transfer, about 10^<-8> eV and about 10^<-3> A^<o-1>, respectively. These very high resolutions are not attained with any other single machine of neutron spectrometers, but recently a new type of spin echo spectrometer is going to be developed applied with the method of small angle arrangements which should also show similar performances with the present device.Our fall focusing spectrometer gives the possibility of measurements of various scattering angles simultaneously, which was not possible with the conventional reach focusing gravity spectrometer. This property of scattering angle analyses is very much useful for studying, for example, dynamics of diffusing samples. In the next place, the Characteristic performances of our spectrometer compared to the new type of the small angle spin echo spectrometer were studied in the present investigation and the result was indicated that the gravity spectrometer with ultracold neutrons should give much different dynamical information on the scattering sample due to the neutron optical processes of ultracold neutrons in the scattering processes in the sample.These much instructive indications derived as the results of the present studies would be effectively applied in the coming applied experiments for several actual scattering samples now under preparation.

对我所研制的超冷中子落下聚焦重力谱仪的特点性能进行了考察，能量传递和动量传递分辨率均较高，约为10^<-8> eV，约为10^<-3 > A^<o-1> 分别。这些非常高的分辨率是任何其他单机中子能谱仪都无法达到的，但最近将开发一种新型的自旋回波能谱仪，采用小角度布置的方法，它也应该表现出与现有设备类似的性能。落落聚焦光谱仪能够同时测量各种散射角，这是传统落落聚焦重力光谱仪无法实现的。散射角分析的这种特性对于研究扩散样品的动力学等非常有用。其次，我们的光谱仪与新型小角自旋回波光谱仪的特性性能进行了比较，结果表明，超冷中子重力光谱仪应该给出许多不同的散射动力学信息。由于样品中的散射过程中超冷中子的中子光学过程，因此对样品产生了影响。作为本研究结果得出的这些富有指导意义的指示将有效地应用于即将到来的几种实际散射的应用实验中样品正在准备中。
