Numerical simulation study of the performance of a small neutron three axis spectrometer
This article describes Monte Carlo computer simulations comparing the performances of a conventional neutron three axis spectrometer (TAS) and a micro-TAS, a mu TAS, designed to be as compact as seems practical. The simulations show that the mu TAS delivers performance (intensity at equal resolution) equivalent to that of a normal TAS. The mu TAS should be very cheap to build and a "farm" of sever
