Task 2. Further developments in neutron spin echo technique FZJ: new correction elements for an extremely high field integral NSE spectrometer. M.Ohl, M. Monkenbusch JRA5- PNT: Meeting #3, 9-10 June 2005, Gatchina
Test of the prototype of CE The further test have been done to proof the long term stability of this prototype:more than 100 cycles have been run to test the correction coil for a reliable operation in a foreseen spin echo instrument at the SNS. The correction coil remains stable over the whole period of operation and the glue between the back plate and the spirals fixed the correct position of the correction coil windings. Successful test of the prototype: • homogeneous temperature over the whole Fresnel coil of about 60°C and at the same time a power consumption of 800 W. The next prototype will be build to finally correct a field integral of 1.5 Tm. We expect the next prototype available for tests in august 2005. JRA5- PNT: Meeting #3, 9-10 June 2005, Gatchina
Positioning of correction elements • accuracy required perpendicular to axis: ~0.03mm • accuracy required along axis: ~1-3mm • allowed tilt: < 0.10 • thermal drift: stay below these limits (keep it cool => cooling tests) We received the first hexapod prototype for the exact positioning of the correction elements. Due to some minor problems to build this prototype from nonmagnetic materials, some minor changes have to be performed by the company. The next prototype will be delivered on 06/18/2005.
