25. Collimation L1 = 2 to 12 m,
Sample at 19m from moderator,
Sample to detector L2 = 2 to 12 m,
Qmin~ 0.002 Å-1, λ = 1.5 to 12 Å by time of flight,
Qmax~ 3 Å-1

36. Caveats
Thick-walled moderator at low pressure
Data from one detector only
Instrument not fully aligned; collimation issues
Issues with data reduction software slowing
commissioning down
44. Problems…
Issues with background subtraction
Systematic errors in reduction process
Instrument scattering artefacts
Data reduction issues slowing optimization
45. Prospects…
Enormous simultaneous Q range
Two-fold flux increase from source
Two-fold increase from alignment and collimation
Three-fold from additional detector
46. Conclusions…
Lots of work to identify instrument configurations
A versatile instrument for hierarchical systems
Competitive collection times wrtbest instruments
Real potential for structural biology
50. Prospects…
World class SANS instrument for large samples
High resolution data (but not verylow Q)
Requires new data analysis techniques
Combined data sets with differential labeling?
54. TS-2 and the biosciences
Optimizedinstrumentation on a unique source
Powerful tools for hierarchical systems
Combining the best characteristics of instruments
A view towards a future of long pulse sources?
