Abstract

Abstract: We created software to simulate the Larmor precession in a setup for SESANS with adiabatic/radio frequency flippers in magnets designed to measure the time-of-flight on pulsed or stationary neutron sources. The values and spatial configurations of the magnetic fields of the existing prototype magnets we used as input data. For an empty setup, we calculate the polarization of a “divergent ribbon beam” 2 cm high, depending on the neutron wavelength λ. In the “scattering experiment”, we show how to convert λ to the “spin-echo length” δ. For λ = 10 Å, flippers at a distance of 140 cm and a radio frequency 1 MHz we find δ ≈ 10 μm. Extension to δ = 20 μm is realistic.
