Phase Contrast & dark field neutron radiography using Larmor labelling

Abstract: x-ray radiography is familiar to everyone who visits a dentist. Equally well known is that fact that x-ray radiography is not well suited to seeing contrast between different soft tissues in the body. The same problem occurs when x-rays are used to radiograph working devices such as fuel cells or batteries: some materials, such as water, simply do not provide enough contrast to be easily localized in a radiograph. Although neutron radiography solves this problem in some cases, it too is limited by the vagaries of neutron absorption contrast. We propose to develop a method that will allow neutrons to create an image based on different contrast mechanisms, including refraction and scattering from small imperfection. This will allow enhanced imaging and understanding of new materials and devices.
