On the Project of Modernization and Improvement of the REVERANS Reflectometer at the PIK Reactor

Abstract

The main directions of development of the project on the modernization and improvement of the REVERANS reflectometer, which is proposed to be installed at the PIK reactor (REVERANS-2), are described. They include the substitution of magnetic materials in instrument construction and the replacement of the autonomous table for samples; the equipment of the instrument with a polarimeter to measure the polarization components of incident and reflected neutron beams; and replacement of the electronics and mechanisms for moving the platforms. The REVERANS-2 parameters expected after modernization are given.
