Design of neutron spin-echo spectrometers for ESS — •Stefano Pasini¹, Michael Monkenbusch¹, and Melissa Sharp² — ¹Jülich Center for Neutron Science, FZJ, Germany — ²ESS AB, Lund, Sweden

Neutron spin echo (NSE) is the technique with the highest energy resolution for probing the dynamics of materials. Within the German European Spallation Source design update project, the Research Centre Jülich is optimizing a high-resolution (HRNSE) and a wide-angle neutron spin-echo (WANSE) spectrometer. The specifications of the polarization system will be analogous for both instruments: A straight, 8cmx8cm neutron guide with a comparatively short (~2.6m) polarizing bender or eventually a single polarizing mirror inducing a kink in the guide. A potential beam extension and focusing in horizontal direction for the WANSE is still under investigation. For the design of the magnetic layout of the HRNSE, we combined the active stray field compensation techniques used at the SNS-NSE, enabled by superconducting coils, and a coil-geometry optimization versus minimization of field-integral inhomogeneity, depolarization and stray-field. We found a solution with 3 times reduced intrinsic inhomogeneity of field integrals and low stray fields allowing for a working configuration up to 2Tm field integral. The limitations of the correction elements will be partly resolved by the increased field homogeneity. The strategy of low intrinsic inhomogeneity has been pursued also for the WANSE. This should allow us to reach a resolution comparable with that of the current high resolution J-NSE@FRM-II.
