The NPDGamma collaboration has completed the construction of a pulsed cold neutron beam line on flight path 12 at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE). We describe the new beam line and characteristics of the beam. We report results of the moderator brightness and the guide performance measurements. FP12 has the highest pulsed cold neutron intensity for nuclear physics in the world.
Key words: hydrogen moderator; moderator brightness; neutron capture; neutron guide; polarized neutrons; spallation neutron source.
1. Introduction
The NPDGamma collaboration has constructed and commissioned a pulsed cold neutron beam line, flight path 12 ...
