Recent projects:Recent projects:
Neutron Initiative in Compres II?Neutron Initiative in Compres II?
• Travel support will continue – to be administered by COMPRES Central
• Form high-pressure neutron “task-force” made up members of the COMPRES community, experienced neutron researchers and representatives from neutron facilities(i) form high-pressure neutron network for exchange of information between high-pressure neutron facilities within the United States (LANSCE, IPNS, HIFR, SNS) and from around the world (ISIS, ILL, J-PARC) (ii) identify community needs and nurture infrastructure development projects and / or grand challenges as(iii) target, where appropriate, additional resources through which to leverage COMPRES funds
New projects such as . . . • Temperature measurement using neutron reasonance
spectroscopy (synergy with high P-T calibration effort)
• Software development for on-line / off-line evaluation and processing of data (synergy with CEAD)

Example resonance absorption specta
• The resonance lineshape for a stationary nuclei is well described by
the single-level Breit-Wigner equation
• Must account for the thermal motion of the nuclei in the lab frame (energy transfer function)
– For a free gas or classical solid assume a Maxwellian distribution of velocities
– For weak lattice binding can treat as a free gas replacing T by Teff
