CSPEC is the cold chopper spectrometer of the European Spallation Source (ESS) and will come online with the ESS beam on the target. CSPEC will be the first cold chopper spectrometer on a long pulsed spallation source, which provides great opportunities in terms of signal to noise and novel measuring schemes. We provide a detailed overview of the instrument, scientific design considerations, and engineering requirements.

In the exploration of ocean resources, the submarine electric field signal plays a crucial role through marine electromagnetic methods. However, due to the field signal's low-frequency and weak characteristics, it often encounters interference from the instrument's own 1/f noise during its acquisition. To address this issue, we developed a low-noise amplifier for the submarine electric field signal based on chopping amplification technology.

High-efficiency excitation of a molecular beam is critical for investigating state-selected chemistry. However, achieving vibrational excitation of the entire beam for Raman-active molecules such as H proves extremely challenging, primarily because laser pulses are much shorter than the molecular beam. In this study, we achieve a total excitation efficiency of over 20% by employing stimulated Raman pumping (SRP) in a slow, narrow-pulsed molecular beam.

A linear fast neutron beam chopper has been deployed at a prompt gamma activation analysis instrument, enabling in-beam activation analysis of short-lived neutron capture products without the need for sample transfer. This article describes the design and operation of the chopper system and measurement results from test samples containing Se-77 and Yb-175m . The chopper timing was optimized for a specific isotope in each measurement, demonstrating an advantage of the programmable system.

We have developed an apparatus capable of performing intrabeam and near-copropagating beam scattering experiments at collision energies from room temperature to below 1 K where interesting quantum phenomena can be observed. A detailed description of the major components of the apparatus, single and dual molecular beam valves, high speed chopper, and the discharge source, is presented. With the intrabeam scattering setup, a novel dual-slit chopper permits collision energies down to millikelvins with a collision energy spread of 20%.
