Description

After the ROTAX spectrometer has been devised and installed at ISIS it is now time to conclude on its merits and problems. We are able to show that practical scans in (Q,ω) space with a nearly arbitrary scan direction, i.e. polarisation of q vs Q are possible and feasible with no compromise on the resolution. In addition, valuable technological and methodological knowledge has been compiled, namely in the field of digitally controlled and fast acting gear-less direct drives. However, ROTAX faces difficulties from an unexpectedly weak neutron flux of its beam. We shall discuss the consequences of this outcome and briefly mention its modified new application field.
