KOMPASS: the new cold neutron triple-axis-spectrometer specialized for polarization analysis

Abstract

KOMPASS is a polarized triple-axis cold neutron spectrometer recently installed at the FRM II neutron source. The instrument is designed to operate exclusively with polarized neutrons and is specialized in longitudinal polarization analysis using Helmholtz coils and spherical zero-field neutron polarimetry using a Cryopad device. The advanced guide system polarizes and focuses flexibly in the scattering plane. A first, fixed parabolic focusing part contains a series of three polarizing supermirror V-cavities that produce a highly polarized beam. By exchanging straight and parabolic front-end guide sections, the resolution of the instrument can be optimized to meet experimental requirements. Large, double-focusing monochromator and analyzer units with pyrolytic graphite crystals enable efficient and adaptive energy selection, and a compact supermirror cavity analyzes the final neutron polarization. Alternatively, or in combination with this cavity, a Heusler polarization analyzer can be used. KOMPASS offers full- and half-polarized configurations with or without secondary energy analysis and provides a wide range of polarization options. Therefore, KOMPASS is well suited for various studies of static and dynamic magnetic correlations with energy transfers on the neutron energy loss side up to ~12 meV.
