The challenging optics of XtremeD – a neutron diffractometer for high pressures and magnetic fields at ILL developed by Spain

6 páginas, 3 figuras.The Spanish community of neutron scatterers and the ILL are considering the construction of a CRG "extreme conditions Diffractometer (XtremeD)" for both single crystals and powders, operating at high pressures (up to 50 GPa) and high magnetic fields (up to 15 Tesla). High pressure studies require reduced sample volumes. This makes the focusing optics a crucial part of the instrument, in order to have increased flux and to avoid the scattering from the sample environment. The different solutions at different levels of the instrument, which are being studied, will be discussed in this paper.Peer reviewe
