摘要:

我们提出一种共振模式、横向场射频(rf)中子自旋翻转器设计,该设计采用高温超导薄膜,以确保均匀磁场区域之间的锐利过渡。共振模式允许低功率、高频运行,但要求器件内部磁场具有严格的均匀性。研究发现,在有效频率为4 MHz、束斑尺寸为2.5×2.5 cm、波长为0.4 nm的条件下,该设计能够以96.6±0.6%的效率有效翻转中子。高频和高效率使该器件能够执行高分辨率中子谱学,其性能可与当前使用的射频翻转器设计相媲美。研究发现,最高频率的限制源于器件的磁场均匀性。我们利用Bloch求解器仿真,并结合有限元仿真生成的磁场,对该设计可能达到的最高效率进行了数值分析。我们还基于实验和仿真结果,讨论了未来对该设计在效率和频率方面的改进。

英文摘要:

We present a resonant-mode, transverse-field, radio-frequency (rf) neutron spin flipper design that uses high-temperature superconducting films to ensure sharp transitions between uniform magnetic field regions. Resonant mode allows for low power, high frequency operation but requires strict homogeneity of the magnetic fields inside the device. This design was found to efficiently flip neutrons at 96.6$\pm 0.6\%$ at an effective frequency of 4 MHz with a beam size of $2.5~\times~2.5$~cm and a wavelength of 0.4 nm. The high frequency and efficiency enable this device to perform high-resolution neutron spectroscopy with comparable performance to currently implemented rf flipper designs. The limitation of the maximum frequency was found due to the field homogeneity of the device. We numerically analyze the maximum possible efficiency of this design using a Bloch solver simulation with magnetic fields generated from finite-element simulations. We also discuss future improvements of the efficiency and frequency to the design based on the experimental and simulation results.
