abstract = {A number of upgrades have been made to the KWS-1
small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) instrument, operated
by the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science (JCNS) and located
at the research reactor FRM II of the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz
Zentrum (MLZ) in Garching, Germany. A neutron flux on the
sample of 1×108 cm−2 s−1 makes it one of the most
intense SANS instruments in the world, while an optional
double-disc chopper can reduce wavelength spread down to
Δλ/λ = $1\%$ [1], allowing for high resolution
measurements. In this presentation, we will describe two
recent upgrades, aimed towards optimization of studies of
nanoscale magnetic correlations. The first is the
installation of an upgraded detector. In September 2018, we
were able to achieve commissioning of a new detector
consisting of an array of 3He tubes interfaced with fast
electronics (supplied by GE Reuter Stokes, OH, USA) to
minimize dead-time for high-intensity measurements. An
increase in the total detected area resulted in a new
maximum Q-range of 0.7 Å−1, a $60\%$ improvement over the
previous geometry. 3He provides improved discrimination from
background events, increasing signal-to-noise, while a
faster detector response allows us to increase the source
aperture for even shorter measurement times. In-line with
our development of KWS-1, particularly for the magnetic SANS
community, we report on recent developments for the option
of measuring with polarization analysis. An analyser cell
with polarized 3He allows detecting all four scattering
cross-sections with a Qmax > 0.06 Å−1. The 3He cell is
contained inside a μ-metal chamber, designed in-house by
our JCNS 3He group, to ensure a high degree of uniformity of
the magnetic field at the cell position. In recent
experiments, a cell lifetime of more than 90 hours was
achieved. The achieved cell lifetime is more than 90 hours.
A new option for in-situ polarization of a 3He cell,
allowing for time-independent analyzing efficiency of
post-scattered neutrons, will be discussed.},
