As part of the commissioning program for our PELICAN cold-neutron time-of-flight spectrometer, we have recently taken quasi-elastic neutron scattering data on the dynamics of water, in the vicinity of the amino acid proline.
This is the first experiment on PELICAN using cold neutrons, and an incident neutron wavelength of 6.2Å was used. An energy resolution of 60μeV was measured from a vanadium sample, and scattering from both proline-H2O and proline-D2O was measured, each with 9.1% mole fraction of proline.
Congratulations to Dehong Yu and Richard Mole, who are leading the effort to commission PELICAN.
