etween 4 . 10 -3 eV and 2 . 10 -1 eV the methane-hydrate moderator is inferior to an ice<br />

moderator. We like to remark, that the shown energy spectra are only normalized to the<br />

number of incident protons and the active detector area, but neither to the hydrogen density<br />

nor to the mass density.<br />

5. CONCLUSION<br />

In this article the latest results of the JESSICA experiment were presented. We measured<br />

the time of flight spectra for water and ice at different temperatures. From the time of<br />

flight spectra the energy spectra were derived. In the future we will compare the data with<br />

Monte-Carlo simulations using new neutron scattering kernels [7]. First measurements with a<br />

methane-hydrate moderator delivered promising results but have to be confirmed with further<br />

measurements. Especially the background effects will be studied in more detail using a neutron<br />

generator. The experimental investigation of the wavelength dependent time structure of<br />

the neutron pulses will be performed during the upcoming beam time.<br />
