Parameters

Sample environment

• See special page for information about the Sample Environment

Position

• Guide hall, at the cold neutron guide RNR12, supermirrorguide (m=2, height 12 cm, width 2 cm)

Monochromator

• Pyrolytic Graphite (002), vertically focusing, 5 crystals of 2.5 cm height
• (Optional: Germanium (311, 511, 400), vertically focusing, 9 crystals of 1.4 cm height)

Wavelengths

• Any wavelength between 2.3 Å and 5 Å is possible, standard wavelengths (PG002 monochromator) are 2.45 Å, 3.8 Å, 4.2 Å and 4.5 Å

Collimations

• Optional primary and secondary collimation (Gd-O Soller collimators)
• Oscillating collimator system between sample and detector: 73 Cd coated steel plates of 0.02 cm thickness, angular distance 1.2°

Detector system

• Linear position-sensitive BF₃ multidetector (LCC 400CP, Thompson-CSF)
• 400 counters with step 0.2°, covering simultaneously a scattering angle range of 79.8°, detector radius 1.5 m
• positioning of detector on air cushions for intermediate steps or larger scattering angle range

Instrument software

• SICS (SINQ Instrument Control Software) for control of the measurement
• SEA, TECS (Temperature Control Software) for control of sample environment
• FIT, FULLPROF, ... for data analysis
