The New Materials Science Diffractometer RSD at CIAE

Article Preview

Abstract:

China Advanced Research Reactor (CARR) is a 60 MW tank-in-pool inverse neutron trap type reactor at CIAE. In order to use the non-destructive analytical techniques for phase specific residual stresses research, the new materials science diffractometer RSD was designed at CARR, which is one of the first commissioned instruments to meet the demand of industrial applications. The system comprises two types of monochromator, mosaic flat copper (220) and perfect double focusing silicon (311). The take-off angle of monochromator could change continuously from 41 to 109 degree. Therefore the neutron wavelength varies from 0.895 and 2.666 angstrom. The detector is a one dimension position sensitive detector. Various affiliated equipments enable it to do texture and tensional experiments. The best resolution could reach 0.2% using double focusing Si (311) monochromator. When RSD is available for routine operation, some research work in the field of nuclear industrial and aviatic engineering materials will be carried out using the beam of CARR.
