Today, we commenced hot-commissioning of our PELICAN time-of-flight spectrometer.
PELICAN is the 8th neutron beam instrument to enter service at the OPAL Research Reactor.
The initial measurements involve scattering from vanadium and a powder-diffraction standard, without the choppers operating.
We expect to do the first spectroscopy measurements, with the choppers running, early in 2012.
All 5m2 of PELICAN's position-sensitive detectors have been installed, and data were taken using them.
Congratulations to Dehong Yu, who has led a large team over many years to reach this point, in addition to a large number of ANSTO staff who have contributed to achieving this important milestone.
