We presented a novel apparatus and method for laser beam position detection and pointing stabilization using analog position-sensitive diodes (PSDs).
A novel method that prevents detachment of an optical fiber from a metal/alloy tube and allows strain measurement up to higher temperatures, about 800 C has been developed. Standard commercial adhesives typically only survive up to about 400 C.
ORNL has developed a large area thermal neutron detector based on 6LiF/ZnS(Ag) scintillator coupled with wavelength shifting fibers. The detector uses resistive charge divider-based position encoding.
Test facilities to evaluate materials compatibility in hydrogen are abundant for high pressure and low temperature (<100C).
Neutron scattering experiments cover a large temperature range in which experimenters want to test their samples.
Neutron beams are used around the world to study materials for various purposes.
High strength, oxidation resistant refractory alloys are difficult to fabricate for commercial use in extreme environments.
