Zero degree neutron time-of-flight facility at RCNP

Abstract An outline of the 0° neutron time-of-flight facility at RCNP is briefly described. A technique has been developed for obtaining a narrow beam burst width by detuning the isochronous cyclotron magnetic field. An overall subnanosecond time resolution has been achieved for 50–80 MeV proton beams. Applications have been made to polarization transfer experiments for the (p, n) reaction at 0°.
