Neutron Scattering Background Signals Visualization Tool

This webtool visualizes background signals commonly seen in neutron scattering experiments, including those due to scattering from aluminum, CYTOP and helium gas. CYTOP is commonly used as a hydrogen-free glue in neutron scattering experiments, and its signals are mainly at Q ≈ 1 Å-1 below 10 meV. Helium gas is commonly used to facilitate thermal exchange, and helium atoms scatter neutrons resulting in a temperature-dependent background signal.

The data of aluminum and CYTOP was collected at T = 5K at ARCS, SNS by Miaoyin Wang and Doug Abernathy. This webtool is developed by Weiyi Wang and source code can be found here.
