The neutron Time-of-Flight BRIllouin SPectrometer BRISP for inelastic neutron scattering at small angles was developed and constructed at ILLs High Flux Reactor for investigating a host of open scientific problems in the low momentum region with relatively high incoming neutron energies. With this dedicated instrument, the high-frequency dynamics of atomic nuclei and electron spins is studied in rather different materials. Originally planned for the investigation of disordered and magnetic systems, BRISP has immediately found a natural experimental extension to the study of those systems that have attracted in recent years a growing interest in the scientific community e.g. confined liquids, glasses, and biological macromolecules. A presentation of the instrument will be provided together with the illustration of some recent promising experiments.

Abstract
The neutron Time-of-Flight BRIllouin SPectrometer BRISP for inelastic neutron scattering at small angles was developed and constructed at ILLs High Flux Reactor for investigating a host of open scientific problems in the low momentum region with relatively high incoming neutron energies. With this dedicated instrument, the high-frequency dynamics of atomic nuclei and electron spins is studied in rather different materials. Originally planned for the investigation of disordered and magnetic systems, BRISP has immediately found a natural experimental extension to the study of those systems that have attracted in recent years a growing interest in the scientific community e.g. confined liquids, glasses, and biological macromolecules. A presentation of the instrument will be provided together with the illustration of some recent promising experiments.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
