I have tried a google search and checked my condensed matter books but I can't find out what pulsed neutron diffraction is and how it differs from inelastic neutron scattering.
Tell me more

The most fundamental thing is that "diffraction" generally denotes an elastic process in this context. The "pulsed" part likely refers to the structure of the beam--a bunch of neutrons in short time, and then a long delay before the next bunch which allows better discrimination of what detected event is related to what beam bucket--always a problem with neutrons which have complicated behaviors on long time scales compared to charged particles. |
