The first research paper from our Kookaburra Ultra-Small-Angle Neutron Scattering instrument has appeared in American Mineralogist. The work on natural and synthetic sulfide ores, including some from Olympic Dam, was performed as part of Kookaburra's commissioning, prior to entering user service.
The paper features data from a number of pinhole-SANS and USANS instruments, around the world, including Quokka at OPAL.
The full reference is "Characterization of porosity in sulfide ore minerals: A USANS/SANS study", F. Xia, J. Zhao, B. E. Etschmann, J. Brugger, C. J. Garvey, C. Rehm, H. Lemmel, J. Ilavsky, Y.-S. Han and A. Pring , American Mineralogist 99, 2398–2404 (2014).
