Abstract
We have built a simple two-stage thermostat for measuring small-angle neutron scattering from liquids or solids in the vicinity of a phase t ransition. The thermostat was tested between 20 and 75 degrees C. The long-term temperature stability varies within +/-0.2 and +/-0.5 mK, de pending on the set-point temperature. Positive and negative temperatur e steps of 0.5 mK and more can be obtained without overshoot. Small-an gle neutron spectra from a binary ionic mixture in the critical domain are also reported.
