What Kind of Science Can Be Targeted by the Combination of Neutron Elastic Scattering and High Pressure Devices?

Abstract

In this article, I tried to discuss what kind of science could be targeted by the combination of neutron elastic scattering and high pressure devices. Construction of a user facility providing intense pulsed neutron is now in progress in Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC), Tokai, Ibaraki, Japan. Since we are eager to obtain a beam line dedicated for high pressure sciences in the exciting facility, I reviewed what kind of science in the high pressure world has been already performed by neutron elastic scattering technique in order to think about its new application to high pressure sciences.
