Description

The authors examine the question of figures-of-merit for optimizing the lineshapes of neutron scattering sources, instruments and experiments. Using maximum entropy deconvolution of simulated data, they test the effects of various features of lineshapes including intensity, resolution (FWHM), shape, and background. They demonstrate that conventional figures-of-merit are of limited validity, and they suggest that bandwidth is an important criterion for optimization. 9 refs., 7 figs
