Preliminary assessment towards an imaging spectrometer
Abstract: A new design concept for neutron instruments is to collimate the scattered beam from a sample in a linear rather than radial fashion. If sufficiently strict collimation is obtained, the scattered radiation detected will map directly onto the geometry of the sample measured. This allows imaging to be carried out with chemical specificity maintained either from the diffraction pattern obtained through time of flight, or by using a crystal analyser with a 2nd collimator to form an indirect geometry instrument.Strict collimation will result in lower signal, which may be prohibitive in terms of practical counting time for a realistic instrument. I wish to measure how much signal can be obtained from collimation of a scattered beam to determine if this new concept is viable. Initial calculations suggest it may be.
