Table 1 Comparison of neutron flux, simulated for SKADI, hitting a flat 5 cm long sample on a SANS instrument without, with flat and with parabolic nested mirror optics.

From: PortGISANS: nested mirror optics for a portable GISANS adapter

 

No mirrors

Nested flat mirrors

Nested parabolic mirrors

Flux \(n \ cm^{-2} s^{-1}\)

\(1.50*10^{8}\)

\(9.43*10^{8}\)

\(1.82*10^{9}\)
