Abstract
Examples of the application of a cryogenic moderator in the REMUR time-of-flight neutron reflectometer of the IBR-2 pulsed reactor (Dubna) are given. The results of two experiments are presented: spatial beam splitting upon reflection from a magnetically noncollinear film and the recording of a microbeam formed by a layered waveguide. A conclusion concerning the efficiency of the cryogenic moderator for experiments of this type is made.
