First inelastic scattering data from SIKA

The SIKA cold-neutron 3-axis spectrometer, which will be operated by the National Synchrotron Radiation Research Centre, has taken its first inelastic neutron scattering spectrum of a crystal-field excitation in PrFeO3

A fixed incident energy of 5.11 meV was used and the spectrum shows a scan of the final energy, with the excitation at an energy transfer of around 2 meV. 

The next step is to submit the application to operate SIKA to the regulator, ARPANSA.  The construction of SIKA has been funded in full by the National Science Council of Taiwan.
