Abstract

Abstract

A neutron diffractometer facility for general purposes is currently developed at the radial beamport of Reaktor TRIGA PUSPATI (RTP). In this paper, a Monte Carlo ray-tracing software, McStas is used to simulate the neutron optic of the facility. The simulations present the optical components which can be manipulated to obtain an optimum component parameters and design of the neutron path for the diffractometer. The performance of the neutron collimation for the facility is presented.

Abstrak

Kemudahan neutronometer neutron untuk tujuan umum kini dibangunkan di radial beamport Reaktor TRIGA PUSPATI (RTP). Dalam karya ini, perisian pelacak sinar Monte Carlo, McStas digunakan untuk mensimulasikan optik neutron kemudahan tersebut. Simulasi ini membentangkan komponen optik yang boleh dimanipulasi untuk mendapatkan parameter komponen optimum dan reka bentuk laluan neutron untuk difraksiometer. Prestasi collimation neutron untuk kemudahan dibentangkan.
