The Resonance Detector Spectrometer configuration has recently been revised on the VESUVIO inverse geometry spectrometer at ISIS spallation source. It appears as the most promising approach for electron Volt neutron spctroscopy due to its effectiveness in detecting neutron up to 70 eV final energy. We employed this experimental configuration on VESUVIO spectrometer for Deep Inelastic Neutron Scattering measurements from a water sample. This has been done in order both to test the behavior of the detection system and to derive the single proton wave vector distribution and mean kinetic energy, at two different thermodynamic conditions, up to final neutron energies of about 37 eV. The results have been compared with those obtained through a simultaneous measurement on VESUVIO, carried out in the standard Resonance Filter Spectrometer configuration. These measurements provide a further confirmation of the effectiveness of the Resonance Detector Spectrometer configuration for electron Volt neutron spectroscopy on inverse geometry instruments operating at pulsed neutron sources.
