A multi‐slit very small angle neutron scattering (MS‐VSANS) instrument has been finally accepted at the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS). It is the first spallation neutron source based VSANS instrument. MS‐VSANS has a good signal‐to‐noise ratio and can cover a wide scattering vector magnitude range from 0.00028 to 1.4 Å−1. In its primary flight path, a combined curved multichannel beam bender and sections of rotary exchange drums are installed to minimize the background downstream of the instrument. An exchangeable multi‐slit beam focusing system is integrated into the primary flight path, enabling access to a minimum scattering vector magnitude of 0.00028 Å−1. MS‐VSANS has three modes, namely conventional SANS, polarizing SANS and VSANS modes. In the SANS mode, three motorized high‐efficiency 3He tube detectors inside the detector tank cover scattering angles from 0.12 to 35° simultaneously. In the polarizing SANS mode, a double‐V cavity provides highly polarized neutrons and a high‐efficiency 3He polarization analyser allows full polarization analysis. In the VSANS mode, an innovative high‐resolution gas electron multiplier detector covers scattering angles from 0.016 to 0.447°. The absolute scattering intensities of a selection of standard samples are obtained using the direct‐beam technique; the effectiveness of this method is verified by testing the standard samples and comparing the results with those from a benchmark instrument. The MS‐VSANS instrument is designed to be flexible and versatile and all the design goals have been achieved. The first spallation neutron source based very small angle neutron scattering instrument has been constructed and accepted at the China Spallation Neutron Source. The instrument finds applications in multidisciplinary fields of soft matter, condensed matter physics, materials science and others.
