Conclusion:<br />

NSE Provides a Way <strong>to</strong> Separate Resolution from<br />

Monochromatization & Beam Divergence<br />

• The method currently provides the best energy resolution for<br />

inelastic neutron scattering (~ neV)<br />

– Both classical NSE and NRSE achieve similar energy resolution<br />

– NRSE is more easily adapted <strong>to</strong> “phonon focusing” I.e. measuring the energy<br />

line-widths of phonon excitations<br />

• The method is likely <strong>to</strong> be used in future <strong>to</strong> improve (Q)<br />

resolution for elastic scattering<br />

– Extend size range for SANS (SESANS)<br />

– May allow 100 – 1000 x gain in measurement speed for some SANS exps<br />

– Separate specular and diffuse scattering in reflec<strong>to</strong>metry<br />

– Measure in-plane ordering in thin films (SERGIS)
