Abstract

A general rigorous method is developed for determining resolution functions of powder neutron diffractometers. In this method, unlike the conventional approach, spatial effects are taken into account. The derived equations are the basis for the determination of resolution functions of instruments equipped with vertical and horizontal focusing monochromators. The integration of accessories into the instrument design is considered.
