Trunner, C., & Sponar, S. (2024, June 3). A NEW NEUTRON IMAGING FACILITY AT THE TRIGA MARK II REACTOR OF THE TU WIEN [Poster Presentation]. 12th World Conference on Neutron Radiography, Idaho, United States of America (the). https://doi.org/10.34726/8141
As part of the renewal of some experiments around the reactor, the previous neutron radiography system based on a liquid nitrogen cooled CCD camera was replaced. Therefore a new, modern unit was created. During the designing and successive construction of the new radiography station, special attention was paid to the function of the TU Wien as a research facility. Instead of purchasing a commercial system, a special design was created based on plans from the Technical University of Munich, where a similar system is already in use. The new neutron radiography station is a cost-effective instrument that fully corresponds to the state of art technology. This was achieved by using a 3D printer to manufactur most of the parts in-house. The built-in CMOS astro camera with peltier cooling is also a significant improvement over the former system. With the self-developed measuring software and the specifically build controller, a complete and powerful facility was created. By that, a modern instrument for teaching and research is on hand at the TU Wien to perform radiography and tomography with neutrons.
