Rotating Choppers Are Used <strong>to</strong> Tailor <strong>Neutron</strong><br />

Pulses at Reac<strong>to</strong>rs and <strong>Spallation</strong> <strong>Source</strong>s<br />

• T-zero choppers made of Fe-Co are used at spallation sources<br />

<strong>to</strong> absorb the prompt high-energy pulse of neutrons<br />

• Cd is used in frame overlap choppers <strong>to</strong> absorb slower<br />

neutrons<br />

Fast neutrons from one pulse can catch-up with<br />

slower neutrons from a succeeding pulse and spoil<br />

the measurement if they are not removed.This is<br />

called “frame-overlap”
