Abstract:
The neutron texture diffractometer is one of important and commonly used neutron instruments in the international neutron scattering laboratories. Under the demands of texture measurement with neutrons from domestic user community, the neutron texture diffractometer has been built at China Advanced Research Reactor (CARR). Currently, the preliminary adjustment and calibration with neutrons for this instrument has been finished. In this paper, the measurement principle and advantages of neutron texture diffractometer were briefly introduced. The key components and detailed characteristics for neutron texture diffractometer at CARR and the corresponding results of calibration and performance test were also presented.
