Abstract

Over the past decade, Oak Ridge National Laboratory developed neutron capabilities at both the High Flux Isotope Reactor and the Spallation Neutron Source. A broad scientific portfolio has flourished at both facilities such that a new facility named VENUS is currently under construction at the Spallation Neutron Source. With a large range of applications, comes a broad range of user expertise regarding data processing, analysis, and visualization. Our team has developed and implemented a suite of tools to respond to all user needs. These tools span from data reduction, normalization, general tools such as organization of data folders, pre-processing of data, etc., to strain mapping, neutron grating interferometry, and advanced reconstruction algorithms for computed tomography. This manuscript provides an overview of some of the aforementioned tools.
