Stroboscopic neutron scattering measurements using Raspberry Pi-based sample environment event mode.

An inexpensive single-board computer (Raspberry Pi 5) was employed to create event mode files from sample environment equipment, complementing event files from neutron scattering instrumentation. Together the sample and neutron event files enable fast kinetic processes to be studied via stroboscopic measurements. The device is adaptable to a broad array of experimental scenarios and demonstrates that cutting-edge neutron science can be achieved by employing inexpensive equipment with appropriate expertise.
