Figure 1
(Left) A schematic drawing showing one of the POWTEX cylinder surface detector mounting units (left-hand part) mounted as a pack of eight detector modules in the POWTEX detector geometry. It is aligned orthogonal to 2θ = 90° in the horizontal scattering plane (paper plane) at a distance of 81 cm (instead of the ideal 80 cm) from the sample at the center of the coordinate system. The maximum angular coverage of this type of POWTEX detector is Δ2θ = 90°. Each mounting unit covers 9° in the φ direction (almost perpendicular to the paper plane). The drawing results from the instrument definition file (IDF) as used with Mantid. The much larger POWGEN detector system is shown on the opposite hemisphere. (Right) A photograph of the detector (plus mockup and shielding) touching the POWGEN detector vessel, i.e. the neutron window, as closely as possible to give the best match to the ideal 80 cm sample-to-detector distance.
