The New Neutron Reflectometer-NeRo — •Danica Solina, Dieter Lott, Ursula Tietze, Oliver Frank, Vincent Leiner, and Andreas Schreyer — GKSS Forschungszentrum GmbH, Max-Planck Str. 1; D-21502 Geesthacht, Germany

2005 saw the opening of the new NEutron ReflectOmeter (NeRo) at the GKSS research centre in Geesthacht, Germany for the investigation of magnetic and non-magnetic systems as well as soft matter nano-structures.

NeRo operates with a monochromatic beam of neutrons of wavelength 0.433 nm with a resolution better than 2%. An angular range of 20^∘ < 2θ < 100^∘ allows for both reflectometry and high angle diffraction measurements to be made on NeRo. NeRo has both a position sensitive detector and a pencil detector installed for flexibility when making specular and diffuse measurements.

NeRo has been designed to accommodate heavy sample environments such as cryo-furnaces and various kinds of magnets. Polarization analysis is available for the investigation of magnetic nano-structures. A super mirror stack with a wide angular acceptance range will be available in 2006 for time efficient measurements of magnetic diffuse reflectivity.
