ZEEMANS - A new facility to probe matter at high magnetic field through neutron scattering

We describe ZEEMANS, a new instrument proposed for the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) to probe matter at extremely high magnetic fields. The complexity of the high field magnet demands a versatile neutron scattering instrument, capable of performing diffraction (powder and single crystal), SANS, reflectometry, and inelastic spectrometry, with minimal modifications between configurations. In this paper we present a conceptual design for neutron scattering instrumentation to be built around the horizontal conical high field magnet. Monte Carlo simulations and analytical calculations indicate performance on a par with other SNS instrumentation despite limited access to the sample.
