EMU's vacuum vessel has arrived and been installed
24/04/2013
At 5.30 this morning, the stainless-steel vacuum vessel for our new EMU backscattering spectrometer was delivered to the Institute.
Later in the day it was installed in its position in OPAL's Neutron Guide Hall, on the CG-3 guide.
EMU is designed to allow cold-neutron spectroscopy down to the 1-microvolt energy range.
This is the second such large "pie-shaped" vacuum vessel for an instrument at OPAL, following PELICAN's.
