The Prompt Gamma-ray Activation Imaging and Neutron Tomography (PGAI-NT) instrument at the PGAA facility of the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Center (MLZ), provides a method to obtain and effectively visualize position-sensitive element abundances in samples by combining a three-dimensional extension of Prompt Gamma-ray Activation Analysis (PGAA) and Neutron Tomography (NT). Inspired by a proof-of-principle study, a cone-beam tomography set-up was designed, tested and installed. This article reports on the design of the new cone-beam tomography set-up and its optimization using neutron beam simulations and physical measurements. A new position-sensitive neutron detector with improved performance and instrument environment integration was designed, built and tested. The overall NT performance of the set-up is investigated in the course of a Quality Assessment for neutron tomography sites. Its stand-alone NT and all-in-one PGAI-NT suitability is determined.
