| Popis: | The Low Energy Neutron Source at Indiana University began construction in the fall of 2003, and the facility has now been producing cold neutrons for approximately 8 years. LENS now has three instruments in operation on its cold target station as well as a facility for investigating neutron radiation effects on a second target station. Instrumentation development continues to represent a significant fraction of the activity at LENS, with the current activities focused primarily on neutron spin manipulation and moderator development. Research into the effects of confinement on simple and complex fluids has dominated our materials investigations. In this paper, we summarize recent activities in these areas using each of the instruments and provide an update on our operational experience over the last few years. |
