Neutron optical experiments at the IBR-2 pulsed reactor

Abstract

At JINR, Dubna, a new DIFRAN facility has been installed on a neutron guide at the IBR-2 pulsed reactor. Results of preliminary experiments including investigations of neutron diffraction on bent perfect crystals, wavelength-dependent Pendellösung oscillations, anomalous transmission in InSb single crystals and the first successful test of a new three-plate monolithic interferometer are reported.
