Example formerly known as linup-1.instr The conventional cold-source triple-axis spectrometer TAS1 at Risoe National Laboratory used as a diffractometer for monochromator rocking curves

Identification

• Site: Risoe
• Author: A. Abrahamsen, N. B. Christensen, and E. Lauridsen
• Origin: Risoe
• Date: 1998

Description

This instrument is the conventional cold-source triple-axis spectrometer TAS1
at Risoe National Laboratory. It does not exist anymore, but was used as the
first detailed work performed with the McStas package.
Here it is used as a diffractometer for monochromator rocking curves. The
detector is at the sample position.
