Development of a new neutron scattering instrument under UK-Japan colaboration

本研究是在英国高能加速器研究机构(KEK)和研究理事会中心实验室(CCLRC)卢瑟福·阿普尔顿实验室(RAL)的英日合作下完成的。在这一合作下，我们，日本研究人员，在拉尔的ISIS设施中构建了一种新的高性能仪器地图，用于研究单晶激发。日本承担了MAPS探测器系统的主要部分。这一建设的预算得到了科学研究补助金(优先领域科学研究补助金(B))(利用高强度脉冲中子研究局部自旋、原子结构和动力学的研究)的支持。日本研究人员还可以根据研究需要使用ISIS设施中的其他仪器。在1998财年至2000财年的三年时间里，我们派出了52名日本研究人员到该研究所，其中包括两名中期访问者(3个月)，并邀请了10名英国研究人员讨论合作中的科学问题。

The present research achieves neutron scattering experimental study under the UK-Japan collaboration between High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) of Council of Central Laboratory of Research Council (CCLRC). Under this collaboration, we, Japanese researchers , construct a new and high performance instrument MAPS in the ISIS facility of RAL for studying excitation from single crystal. Japan committed the main part of detector system of MAPS.Budget for this construction was supported by a Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (Grant-in-aid for scientific Research on priority areas (B)) (Study on a local spin, atomic structure and the dynamics by means of high intensity pulsed neutron). Japanese researchers can also use other instruments in the ISIS facility according to research requirement. In three years between the fiscal year 1998 and FY2000, we sent 52 Japanese researchers to RAL including two medium term visitors (3months) and invited 10 British researcher to discuss scientific problem in the collaboration.
