Design of microfocusing bent-crystal double monochromators

  • 1. Missouri Univ. Research Reactor, Columbia, MO (United States)

Description

Design relations are given for double bent-crystal monochromators ensuring both spatial microfocusing and focusing in reciprocal space in powder diffraction. The choice of crystals for monochromators for microfocus stress scanning in steels is discussed. Design computations for an instrument at the Missouri University Research Reactor (MURR, thermal neutron flux 1014 n/cm2 s) with small-mosaic Cu(200) crystals are presented. The spot size can be brought down to 2.5x4 mm, with a peak flux at focus approaching 108 n/cm2 s. (orig.)
