U.S.-U.K. Cooperative Research: Neutron Scattering Studies of the Dynamics of Quantum Liquids

这个为期三年的奖项支持正在进行的美国-英国宾夕法尼亚州立大学的保罗索科尔和W. G.基尔大学的斯特林。 他们的研究目标是在各种不同的环境中对量子液体和固体的微观静态和动态进行中子散射研究。 能量非弹性、准弹性和弹性中子散射技术将应用于量子液体和固体，特别是液氦。 美国研究人员为这次合作带来了高能中子散射、散射源和仪器分辨率数值模拟方面的专业知识。 英国研究人员在测量集体激励和使用反应堆源处的仪器方面的经验对此进行了补充。 测量将在美国和欧洲的中子散射设施进行，包括英国卢瑟福阿普尔顿实验室的ISIS Spectrometry Source和法国的劳厄朗之万研究所。

This three-year award supports ongoing U.S.-U.K. research collaboration in neutron scattering studies of quantum liquids between Paul Sokol of Pennsylvania State University and W. G. Stirling of the University of Keele. The objective of their research is to conduct neutron scattering studies of microscopic statics and dynamics of quantum liquids and solids in a variety of different environments. Energy inelastic, quasi-elastic and elastic neutron scattering techniques will be applied to quantum liquids and solids, particularly liquid helium. The U.S. investigator brings to this collaboration expertise in high energy neutron scattering, spallation sources, and numerical simulations of instrumental resolution. This is complemented by the British investigator's experience in the measurement of collective excitations and with instruments at reactor sources. Measurements will be carried out at neutron scattering facilities in the U.S. and Europe, including the ISIS Spallation Source at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the United Kingdom and the Institut Laue Langevin in France.
