Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
GEM is a new, state-of-the-art, neutron diffractometer at ISIS, which is designed to look at the structure of a broad range of materials from modem developmental polymeric and glassy substances, to the latest magnetic devices. It was built at ISIS by a consortium of some 50 UK university research groups, and has already demonstrated performance at or better than the original design specification. The original grant, GR/K58203 gave insufficient funds to complete the detector array on GEM, with the result that some of the original research which was proposed for GEM cannot currently be achieved. Specifically the previous grants have been used to populate mostly the important wider angle detectors on GEM since these detectors give the instrument its excellent resolution and count rate. There remain significant gaps in the lower angle detectors which however are required for some aspects of the work on GEM, particularly that related to disordered materials diffraction and studies of the magnetic structure of materials. The present proposal is to complete the detector array and detector collimation so that the full potential of GEM as the world's leading materials diffractometer can be realised.
