LENS webinar on new directions in instrumentation

Dr Genoveva Burca (ISIS) will give a presentation on "Exploring the potential of neutron imaging and diffraction techniques on IMAT instrument at ISIS, UK". Dr Burca is responsible for the implementation of the neutron diffraction capabilities on the IMAT beamline after successfully working on the modelling, design, development and commissioning of the IMAT imaging ones.

Abstract excerpt: "The need to enhance the material analysis capabilities at ISIS and complement the existing neutron instruments led to the construction of a new cutting-edge neutron imaging and diffraction beamline for materials science and engineering (IMAT) at the second target station at ISIS, UK. Currently, in addition to conventional ‘white-beam’ neutron radiography and tomography applications, IMAT is offering energy-selective imaging for mapping microstructural properties down to a spatial resolution of 50 microns. IMAT will also offer residual strain analysis, phase analysis and texture analysis by neutron diffraction starting 2022."
