Description
We study the feasibility of storing cold neutron beams in a strong focusing synchrotron. We also propose an alternating-current (AC) dipole magnet to be used as a neutron acceleration device, and a pulsed quadrupole as a neutron beam kicker for injection and extraction. The AC acceleration device can provide adiabatic capture, acceleration or deceleration of neutron beams. It seems feasible to design a high quality neutron synchrotron for many future neutron beam applications, such as neutron life time measurements, “monoenergetic” neutron scattering experiments, pencil neutron beam applications, etc.
