Detector array for SEQUOIA

Massive detector array for SEQUOIA, recently used for an "unprecedented look at quantum oscillations" (more.)

Neutron scattering provides exceptional tools for studying the structure and dynamics of materials at the molecular level. With the world's most intense pulsed accelerator-based neutron source (Spallation Neutron Source) and the highest flux reactor-based neutron source for condensed matter research in the United States (High Flux Isotope Reactor), ORNL provides neutron scattering capabilities unavailable any where else in the world. The Neutron Sciences Directorate manages and operates both facilities.
