Bent Si monochromator—multi-detector neutron diffractometer installed at B4 super-mirror thermal guide tube in KUR

Abstract

A new multi-detector neutron diffractometer has been installed at B4 thermal supermirror neutron guide in KUR, using a new bent Si monochromator developed by Mikula et al. and Ono et al.. Here we report resolutions of powder diffraction patterns by the multi-detector neutron diffractometer, which mainly depend on a radius of sample. Bragg diffraction optics by bent perfect crystal shows improvement of resolution without loss of luminosity and the multi- detector on the same 2 θ arm can gain the intensity without loosing resolution.
