M. Popovici et Wb. Yelon, DESIGN OF MICROFOCUSING BENT-CRYSTAL DOUBLE MONOCHROMATORS, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 338(1), 1994, pp. 132-135
Design relations are given for double bent-crystal monochromators ensu
ring both spatial microfocusing and focusing in reciprocal space in po
wder diffraction. The choice of crystals for monochromators for microf
ocus stress scanning in steels is discussed. Design computations for a
n instrument at the Missouri University Research Reactor (MURR, therma
l neutron flux 10(14)n/cm(2)s) with small-mosaic Cu(200) crystals are
presented. The spot size can be brought down to 2.5x4mm, with a peak f
lux at focus approaching 10(8)ncm(2)s.
