SANS spectrometer for 1MW NUR reactor at URGN, Algeria

The small-angle neutron scattering spectrometers (SANS) have received nowad ays wide acceptance due to very rich possibilities, which they open for inv estigations of the structural peculiarities of density and concentration fl uctuations on a length scale of 10-1000 E. Due to the large scattering cros s-sections at low angles SANS can be used on low-flux neutron sources. We p resent a new SANS spectrometer which has been designed and manufactured in IPPE and JINR for the 1 MW NUR research reactor at Unite de Recherche en Ge nie Nucleaire (URGN), Draria, Algeria.
