Upgrade of the MARI spectrometer at ISIS

Instrumentation and Detectors 2023-10-10 v1

Abstract

The MARI direct geometry time-of-flight neutron spectrometer at ISIS has been upgraded with an m=3m=3 supermirror guide and new detector electronics. This has resulted in a flux gain of 6×{\approx}6{\times} at λ=1.8\lambda=1.8 {\AA}, and improvements on discriminating electrical noise, allowing MARI to continue to deliver a high quality science program well into its fourth decade of life.
