The National Institute of Standards and Technology has under development a major Cold Neutron Research Facility which, upon completion, will make available approximately 15 new neutron-scattering instruments located on neutron guides on the reactor cold source. This facility, which includes the National Science Foundation Center for High Resolution Neutron Scattering, will be operated as a user facility, which is open via a proposal system to all scientists. This paper briefly reviews the types of cold neutron instruments that have particular relevance to magnetic problems. A discussion is given of neutron scattering from magnetic systems with examples of problems appropriate for the enhanced energy and wave-vector resolution of cold-source instruments. Included is a review of new experimental results and techniques that will be available, including reflectometry and grazing-angle diffraction, as well as more conventional techniques such as triple-axis inelastic scattering, small-angle scattering, and time-of-flight spectroscopy.
