Notes:
We have conducted measurements at five different thermal neutron wavelengths to determine the transmission characteristics of a tapered monolithic focusing lens with a focal length of 100 mm, suitable for time-of-flight diffraction. Both the width of the focused beam and the intensity gain of the optic increase as a function of wavelength. We have performed similar measurements on a polychromatic beam on a pulsed neutron source, where the results are subject to background from short wavelength neutrons. The use of a beryllium filter shows the increased effective gain for the longer wavelengths at the expense of an increased focused beam width by a factor of 2. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.
