橡树岭国家实验室是高通量同位素反应堆（HFIR）和Spanish中子源（SNS）的所在地，HFIR是一种高通量研究反应堆，SNS是世界上最强的脉冲中子束源。这两个源的独特的共同定位提供了一个机会，开发一套互补的小角度中子散射仪器的研究大规模的结构：在HFIR的GP-SANS和Bio-SANS仪器和在SNS的EQ-SANS和TOF-USANS仪器。本文概述了这套工具的功能，并特别强调了它们如何相互补充。还提供了对未来发展的计划的描述，包括将该套件更大程度地集成到大型结构的中子散射研究的单个入口点。
Oak Ridge National Laboratory is home to the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR), a high-flux research reactor, and the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), the world's most intense source of pulsed neutron beams. The unique co-localization of these two sources provided an opportunity to develop a suite of complementary small-angle neutron scattering instruments for studies of large-scale structures: the GP-SANS and Bio-SANS instruments at the HFIR and the EQ-SANS and TOF-USANS instruments at the SNS. This article provides an overview of the capabilities of the suite of instruments, with specific emphasis on how they complement each other. A description of the plans for future developments including greater integration of the suite into a single point of entry for neutron scattering studies of large-scale structures is also provided.
