Description

To optimise parameters for very high resolution chopper spectrometers, we have estimated the resolution functions by means of the simulation calculation program McStas. Results of simulation indicate that a chopper spectrometer with L1 of 15 m and L2 of 4 m gives an energy resolution, Δε/Ei, of 1% when it is installed at a decoupled liquid H2 moderator in the Joint Project. Moreover, even very high resolution chopper spectrometers with Δε/Ei of 0.1% must be feasible by using a double Fermi chopper system. Because of its quite wide Q-ω space, high resolution chopper spectrometers become important and powerful tool for investigation in wide scientific fields. (author)
