Polarizing and Non-polarizing Neutron Mirrors and Wafers Coated with Neutron Absorbers for Nested Mirror Optics
The Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA requires polarizing and non-polarizing neutron mirrors and silicon wafers coated with neutron absorbers for nested mirror optics. These components will be used to improve signal-to-background ratios for neutron scattering experiments, particularly for small or constrained samples. The mirrors and substrates must be fabricated, inspected, tested, and delivered according to established specifications for use at the Spallation Neutron Source and High Flux Isotope Reactor facilities. No specific budget amounts or non-bid timelines are mentioned in the description. Performance of services is specified for Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA.
