  2. Time of flight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_of_flight

    Time of flight (ToF) is the measurement of the time taken by an object, particle or wave (be it acoustic, electromagnetic, etc.) to travel a distance through a medium. This information can then be used to measure velocity or path length, or as a way to learn about the particle or medium's properties (such as composition or flow rate).

  3. Time-of-flight diffraction ultrasonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-of-flight_diffraction...

    Time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD) method of ultrasonic testing is a sensitive and accurate method for the nondestructive testing of welds for defects. TOFD originated from tip diffraction techniques which were first published by Silk and Liddington [1] in 1975 which paved the way for TOFD. Later works on this technique are given in a number of ...

    Time-of-flight spectrometers at pulsed sources include Pharos at LANSCE's Lujan Center at Los Alamos National Laboratory, MAPS, MARI, HET, MERLIN and LET at the ISIS neutron source, and ARCS, CNCS, and SEQUOIA at the Spallation Neutron Source, [1] iBIX, SuperHRPD, PLANET, SENJU, TAKUMI, iMATERIA and NOVA at the J-PARC and SKAT-EPSILON, DIN-2PI, NERA at the IBR-2 pulsed reactor.

  5. Neutron scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_scattering

    Today, most neutron scattering experiments are performed by research scientists who apply for beamtime at neutron sources through a formal proposal procedure. Because of the low count rates involved in neutron scattering experiments, relatively long periods of beam time (on the order of days) are usually required for usable data sets.

  6. Neutron Time Of Flight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_Time_Of_Flight

    The Neutron Time Of Flight (n_TOF) facility is a neutron spectrometer at CERN, with the aim of studying neutron-nucleus interactions over a range of kinetic energies, using the time of flight method. The research conducted at the facility has applications in nuclear technology and nuclear astrophysics . [ 1 ]

  7. ISIS Neutron and Muon Source - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISIS_Neutron_and_Muon_Source

    The Science and Technology Facilities council, or STFC, is part of UK Research and Innovation. Experimental time is open to academic users from funding countries and is applied for through a twice-yearly "call for proposals". Research allocation, or "beam-time", is allotted to applicants via a peer-review process.

  8. Time-of-flight detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-of-flight_detector

    A time-of-flight (TOF) detector is a particle detector which can discriminate between a lighter and a heavier elementary particle of same momentum using their time of flight between two scintillators [1]. The first of the scintillators activates a clock upon being hit while the other stops the clock upon being hit.

  9. Time-of-flight mass spectrometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-of-flight_mass...

    A time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOFMS) consists of a mass analyzer and a detector. An ion source (either pulsed or continuous) is used for lab-related TOF experiments, but not needed for TOF analyzers used in space, where the sun or planetary ionospheres provide the ions. The TOF mass analyzer can be a linear flight tube or a reflectron.
