Neutron tomography is presently the only possibility to obtain information about
the three-dimensional distribution of soot and ash in a filter monolith. The esti -
mation of the soot distribution in a diesel particulate filter with neutron imaging
is possible because neutrons are highly sensitive to the element hydrogen, which
is content of soot. In order to increase the soot contrast and hence increase the
probability of soot detection, the Paul Scherrer Institute in collaboration with
the ETH Zurich have developed a gadolinium additive that can be directly add -
ed to the diesel fuel.

High resolution Multi-Purpose ImagingA unique inst rument that combines imaging with reciprocal space
techniques in a novel way. It representsa versat ile inst rument concept
using high-resolut ion at tenuat ion-based imaging as well as t ime-of-
flight neutron imaging techniques with novel capabilit ies based on
spat ially resolved scat tering effects. Thevariablechoiceof wavelength
resolut ions between 0.3% and 10% over tunable wavelength bands
combined with polarizat ion analysis opens up the possibility of highly
efficient polarized-neut ron and Bragg-diffract ion imaging as well as
dark-field imaging opt ions. The inst rument isalso capableof spat ially
resolved SANS invest igat ions.
Instrument DescriptionThe unique source characterist ics of ESS allow the inst rument to be opt imized for a large variety of neu-
t ron imaging techniques with high efficiency. The high source brightness, a bi-spect ral ext ract ion and an
opt imized neut ron guide system enable not only high resolut ion and high-speed at tenuat ion cont rast imag-
ing, but also permit the user to take advantage of corresponding energy-select ive measurements increasing
e.g. sensit ivity. The length of the inst rument , chosen to 60 m to the detector, provides sufficient wave-
length resolut ion for efficient t ime-of-flight dark-field cont rast imaging. This corresponds to measuring
small-angle scat tering where the spat ial resolut ion is determined by beam modulat ion techniques. Other
imaging modes profit from the potent ial to tune the t ime-of-flight resolut ion from 1% down to 0.3% with
a wavelength frame mult iplicat ion chopper system. It features an opt ically blind, pulse shaping, double
chopper system. In this system the variable distance of the disks, operated such that the closing of the
first disk coincides with the opening of the second disk, defines the wavelength resolut ion at the detector.
Both the separat ion of the wavelength frames (bands) as well as the choice of the wavelength band with or
without pulse suppression require addit ional choppers. The corresponding wavelength resolut ion provides
efficient polarized neut ron imaging or Bragg edge studies. The prompt pulse background is avoided by a
T0 chopper at 9m from the moderator.
Polarized neut ron imaging is based on keeping t rack of the neut ron polarizat ion as it passes through
a magnet ic field, and can be used for quant itat ive invest igat ions of magnet ic fields and st ructures with
spat ial resolut ion. Bragg edgesaresteps in the t ransmit ted total crosssect ion deriving from coherent elast ic
(Bragg) scat tering. Measuring the Bragg edge pat tern in the t ransmit ted spect rum with 1% and 0.3%
wavelength resolut ion can be ut ilised to map crystalline phases or texture and lat t ice st rains, somewhat
akin to convent ional diffract ion.

3) Temperature Distribution Study in Electric Motor
Interest in electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is growing recently from a global
environmental issues. Magnet performance affects the propulsion motor efficiency.
Expectation to high performance motor magnet with cost performance.
Detailed information is needed for improvement, especially temperature
characteristics during the driving state related to the Curie temperature.
Neutron Resonance Absorption Spectroscopy N-RAS) is the expected method.

4) Nuclide Movement by Electromigration
Electromigration is generally considered to be the result of momentum transfer from the electrons,
which move in the applied electric field, to the ions which make up the lattice of the interconnect
material. The effect is important in applications where high direct current densities are used.
