Popis: Neutron resonance spin echo (NRSE) enables us to measure neutron quasi-elastic scattering with high energy resolution. Its energy resolution is limited by a path length variation due to the beam divergence. Neutron focusing technique using a neutron supermirror can be used to overcome this problem. To investigate the effect of a cylindrical mirror on the path length variation due to the beam divergence, MIEZE (modulation of intensity by zero effort) spin echo measurement was performed. The result demonstrated that the cylindrical mirror effectively corrects the path length variation and leads to high energy resolution as well as high intensity in NRSE and MIEZE measurement.
