(Left) Measurement of water with a neutron wavelength of 4.9 Å at a sample-to-detector distance of 2 m with a centred detector. The tubes do not shadow each other in this geometry. Besides the general trend of higher intensity in the middle due to geometric effects, features caused by varying pixel sensitivities can be seen. A pixel-by-pixel division of this measurement by a measurement of the same sample at the same instrumental geometry, but with a neutron wavelength of 6.0 Å, is shown on the right. Apart from the statistical noise of the measurements, all effects cancel out, demonstrating their independence of the neutron wavelength. |
