From these cross-sections, both the nuclear and the magnetic scattering cross-sections could be extracted.
Superfluid helium does not support the formation of bubbles within the target chambers, and more importantly, the small-angle neutron scattering cross-section of superfluid helium is smaller than normal liquid helium by a factor of 5 [11,12].
Since the remaining covalently-bonded H atoms have a much greater scattering cross-section than any of the other elements in the protein, neutron scattering provides a means of studying their motion, and thereby the motion in situ of the protein structures to which they are attached.
