Future PlanVCN-f-SANS

30



Scaling Laws1) Lens focal strength is proportional to

(lens aperture)-2 x (lens length)2) Solid angle of the lens aperture is proportional to

(focal strength) -2

3) The total distance is scaled as (focal strength) -1

4) The focal length is proportional to (wavelength) -2

5) Rep. rate of the chopper can increase for the shorter total length .

When we use three set of the same PMSx, the total length would be 5/3m, which is less than 2m (not 5m).

Concluding RemarksPL will be delivered by the end of Dec. 2010. –

Will help to enhance the neutronian's activities: Education, Incubating new ideas, etc.

PECRIS R&D is on going.(Far upstream)

f-SANS with VCN can be very short and handy.

rot-PMSx version is under investigation.
