报告摘要：
In the talk I will give short overview of neutron facility at OPAL reactor at ANSTO with special emphasis on thermal triple-axis spectrometer TAIPAN, its design, performance and recent experimental results.
The thermal triple-axis spectrometer TAIPAN was the first instrument for inelastic neutron scattering built at the new Australian research reactor OPAL. The TAIPAN started operation in February 2009 and is in full user service since November 2010. Conceptually, it is similar to the triple-axis spectrometers (TAS) IN8 (ILL) and PANDA (FRM-II) with variable incident and final energies and a secondary spectrometer with a single detector. The instrument can be operated either in a high flux mode with a double-focusing monochromator and analyser, or with Söller collimators - gaining resolution at the expense of intensity. Presently the PG (002) double-focusing monochromator and analyser are in use. The incident energy range, Ei, on the TAIPAN TAS is from ∼ 5 meV up to ∼ 100 meV with neutron flux at sample position of ∼ 10⁸ n/cm²/s at E_i = 15 meV. The basic geometrical dimensions and parameters of TAIPAN are given in papers [1, 2]. First experiments on TAIPAN were performed with superionic conductor Cu2−xSe and published in 2010 year [3].

报告人简介：
Dr. Sergey A. Danilkin, Bragg Institute, Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization (ANSTO)
Dr Sergey Danilkin joined ANSTO in August 2004 to lead the efforts on installation and development of the TAIPAN thermal-beam 3-Axis Spectrometer at the OPAL reactor. He completed his BSc in materials science and solid-state physics at the Moscow Institute of Physical Engineering in 1974. He then went to work at the Institute for Physics and Power Engineering (Obninsk) in Laboratory of Neutron Spectroscopy performing experiments with time-of-flight spectrometer DIN-2 at the pulsed reactor in Dubna, Russia.

Sergey received his PhD in experimental physics from the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (Dubna) in 1986, studying the lattice dynamics of light interstitial atoms in transition metals. Immediately prior to joining ANSTO, he was instrument scientist for a 3-Axis Spectrometer at the Hahn-Meitner Institute, Berlin, Germany. His current research interests include inelastic neutron scattering study of superionic conductors and thermoelectric materials.
