Abstract

Neutron imaging techniques are of great interest to the scientific community, somehow complementary to radiography. Neutron imaging is usually performed on a reactor site involving large infrastructures. This article describes the development within the ANET project of a compact neutron collimator able to reach the same performances of a standard device, but on a factor ten reduced length, opening the possibility to perform neutron imaging on accelerator-based facilities. The results obtained at the INES facility in Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, that demonstrate the collimator working principle with both thermal and epithermal neutrons, will be shown.
