| Abstract Scope |
Neutron imaging is a powerful and versatile technique used to probe internal structures nondestructively and across different length scales. The Multimodal Advanced Radiography Station (MARS) is the dedicated neutron imaging facility at the High-Flux Isotope Reactor and within the User Program at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Recent advances in imaging modalities, detectors, optics, and software have enabled researchers to conduct complex measurements and analyses. These range from capturing microstructure and defects within additively manufactured components, tracking ion diffusion during operando battery cycling, characterizing phase transitions with in situ heating at application-relevant conditions, and much more. An overview of MARS will be presented along with highlights of recent changes and how to access the beamline through the User Program. Finally, the community-driven future vision for the beamline will be presented in the context of ongoing facility upgrades at the HFIR. |
