Resolution of three-axis spectrometers by phase-space methods

Abstract

Phase-space arguments are used to discuss the transmission function of three-axis spectrometers using an approximation where beam elements have rectangular rather than Gaussian transmission profiles. The optimum choice of collimators and monochromators and the ‘focussing angle in scattering’ are discussed. The knowledge gained can be applied to the Gaussian-profile approximation. The optimisation derived is then used to evaluate the resolution in reciprocal space for an optimised measurement.
