The Use of a Position Sensitive Detector or of a Multidetectorfor the Measurement of Pole Figures by Neutron Time-of-FlightTechnique

The neutron flux of even high flux reactors is poor in conwith the quantum flux ofX-ray tubes. Furthermm the costs of operation time ofa reactor ex the ones of a X-ray dieter many times. Therefore in order to decrease themngtime more and more neutron spectrometers have been equipped with multidrs (MD) or position sensitive detectors (PSD) in the last time. Also in the field of texture investigation the use of PSD were report. They are used at spectrometexs working with monoromated neutron bemns and are particularly used to do profile analysis. In the present paper we describe the planned improvement ofs spectrometer working with a white neutron beam (time-of-flight technique) using a bent MD. In its nature this is a combination oboth wavelength can and pole figure scan. For scanning the pole figures the sample movement can be reduced to a rotation about only one axis.
