Abstract
The theory and practice of measurement of atomic momentum distribution s by high energy neutron scattering is outlined. Energy transfers 1 < omega < 200 eV and momentum transfers 30 < q < 250 Angstrom(-1) are ob tained on the eVS spectrometer at the ISIS neutron source by use of a resonance filter difference technique. Applications of this technique to molecular hydrogen, quantum fluids, hydrogen bonds, amorphous mater ials and metal hydrides are referenced.
