Outline

Experiment Construction of the system Information about communication Benefits of the project

Experiment NERA spectrometer is used to study

inelastic scatering of electrons. Three kind of measurements: QENS

(quasi elastic neutron scatering), IINS (inelastic incoherent neutron scatering) and ND (neutron diffraction)

16 meausuring segments (each segment contains 2 stepper motors and 2 monocrystals)

Bragg Reflection used to selected neutron energy
