<strong>Neutron</strong>s From Reac<strong>to</strong>rs and <strong>Spallation</strong> <strong>Source</strong>s Must Be<br />

Moderated Before Being Used for <strong>Scattering</strong> Experiments<br />

• Reac<strong>to</strong>r spectra are Maxwellian<br />

• Intensity and peak-width ~ 1/(E) 1/2 at<br />

high neutron energies at spallation<br />

sources<br />

• Cold sources are usually liquid<br />

hydrogen (though deuterium is also<br />

used at reac<strong>to</strong>rs & methane is sometimes<br />

used at spallation sources)<br />

• Hot source at ILL (only one in the<br />

world) is graphite, radiation heated.
