Figure 12
Thickness and wavelength dependence of the forward scattering from water as averaged over the whole 3He 0.64 × 0.64 m area detector with dS = 0.8 mm (circles) and 2.0 mm (squares). Data are put on an absolute scale using equation (2) and the beam current JB as measured using a 3He detector with calibrated beam attenuation. The solid lines are calculated according to equation (13), with GD for the helium detector as obtained from Fig. 11 and Gθ obtained from Fig. 9. Black and blue denote 0.8 and 2.0 mm thicknesses, respectively. The scattering power τ is obtained from the sample transmission and inelastic fraction obtained from TOF using Table 6. The dashed curves use the scintillation detector efficiency to calculate GD. The increase in scattering observed with 2 mm thickness is primarily a result of the lower transmission. |
