Conventional TOF SANS
chopper
Time resolution is limited by chopper opening time (burst time)
Inefficient because chopper is closed most of the time
Can we do better?
“Yes” - Gähler

TISANE Implementation Checklist:
• chopper, sample and detector timing electronics testing
• test ORDELA detector time-stamping electronics
• data processing software for time-stamped data – in progress
• shielding - plan for temporary shielding given go-ahead
• install chopper when all offline testing is complete
• do test experiments

SummaryTISANE would provide access to phenomena occurring on time scales (50 s to 150 ms) not currently probed by any other neutron scattering technique
• microstructural response of light sensitive materials, electro-rheological fluids, ferrofluids, liquid crystals, etc.
• structure in complex fluids induced by oscillatory shear
• biological processes, e.g. muscle contraction• dynamics of flux lines in superconductors• dynamics of magnetic domains
