Neutron scattering at high pressure

Abstract
Neutron scattering spectra at pressures up to 30 kilobar in the temperature range 300–4 K have been obtained with a compact clamped type apparatus. The pressure cell geometry, by allowing the detection of neutrons scattered in a plane, makes it compatible with operation on crystal spectrometers, both for elastic and inelastic scattering. The instrument is light (4.5 kg) and easy to move. An external diameter of 68 mm makes the pressure cell adaptable to standard cryostats or furnaces.
