- Keeping your current components, insert a Monochromator_flat
component (use mcdoc to get the needed parameters) and a
new set of PSD and L_monitor after the monochromator. You should now add
two new input parameters of your instrument, e.g. OMM (Omega
Monochromator) and TTM (Two Theta Monochromator)
for rotation of the monochromator and the remaining part of the
instrument so that the orientation of
monochromator is as portrayed in Figure 3.

Illustration of the monochromator orientation

These two instrument input parameters should be added to the DEFINE line of the instrument (start of file). Remember to add an Arm()'s at the rotation point.
- Given
= 4Å, and knowing that for the
monochromator
Å
(Pyrolytic Graphite), use Bragg's law to determine the
correct Bragg angle (i.e. OMM/TTM) for the monochromator for the
reflection.
- Do a scan of OMM a couple of angles around this value to verify
the finding, keeping TTM fixed. This will be achieved by setting the OMM value to 'min,max' (replace by relevant numerical values) in the Run Simulation window, and selecting the Scan check button in that same window. Enter the number of steps to compute (e.g. 10). Check the position of the peak on
the PSD and the wavelength on the L_monitor.
- What should
be set to to get the
reflection at exactly
OMM=45
(TTM=90
)?
Adjust
for the monochromator and verify the calculation by a
scan, check the wavelength.
- Determine the Bragg angle for the
reflection in this
setting of
, and verify by scaning OMM. Set OMM to this value
- Before you go on, change the minimum and maximum wavelengths of
the source to a narrow interval around the wavelength you select,
e.g. 4Å. (No need to
produce neutrons that will not be scattered at the monochromator...)
