- Abstract
- The substantial upgrade in new-generation reactor-based time-of-flight spectrometers lies in their hugely increased detection area ensuring high neutron-collection power and remarkably good count statistics in relatively short times. Dealing with thousands of time channels and several tens of thousands of detection pixels is, however, quite punishing for data handling and correction. Real-geometry multiple scattering evaluation, even in an approximate way, is often the most demanding step in the treatment of inelastic neutron data, and becomes a very hard task in widely-extended detection geometries, as those of spectrometers like BRISP, IN4 or IN5 at the Institut Laue Langevin in Grenoble. We refreshed our approach to multiple scattering calculations, in order to obtain reasonably accurate real-geometry results in nearly real-time conditions. Our new code, originating from a long standing experience in the application of Monte Carlo (MC) integration techniques to multiple scattering calculations, is now made particularly efficient in computing time both by a careful application of the MC importance sampling method, and by the use of programming languages allowing for an efficient use of matrix algebra to avoid the far slower nested-loop logic of more traditional languages. The concepts at the basis of the algorithm and several implementation details are presented, together with the application to a real experimental test case. (literal)
