Abstract
The analytical optimisation of a proposed high-resolution time-of-flight di ffractometer in back scattering geometry will be shown. To obtain this aim we have formulated the resolution and the intensity in simple geometric par ameters. The optimised configuration can be found analytically under the co ndition of a given resolution by the Lagrange multiplicator method. The equ ations for resolution and intensity have been compared with Monte Carlo sim ulation results. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
