Description
SHERPA is a proposed near-backscattering instrument that will replace the IRIS spectrometer on the first target station at ISIS. By exploiting the prismatic effect of the PG(002) crystals in the secondary spectrometer, it promises huge gains in count-rate versus current ISIS instruments. This will facilitate routine polarization analysis on both small samples and weakly scattering materials. It is expected that SHERPA will revolutionize the study of a broad range of systems, from biomolecules to catalysts to energy materials.
