Abstract

We built a new cryostat to apply a current-biased kinetic inductance detector (CB-KID) for conducting neutron transmission imaging of room-temperature samples under pulsed neutrons. A Wood’s metal alloy of melting temperature 75.2 °C was placed at room temperature to inspect the measurement system at J-PARC. Since one of the four phases of Wood’s metal is a fine Cd-rich needle phase (width \(\sim\) 25 μm and length \(\sim\) 5 mm), it is suitable for observing fine mosaic structure selectively by neutron imaging. The spatial resolution of the CB-KID imager was estimated as \(\sim 10 {\upmu }\text{m}\) by using a Gd Siemens-star pattern. The CB-KID system is useful to conduct transmission imaging for various materials rather easily at room temperature.
