High-intensity two-axis diffractometer with variable resolution D20

D20 is very high intensity 2-axis diffractometer equipped with a large microstrip detector. Due to the extremely high neutron flux, it opens up new possibilities for real-time experiments on very small samples.

General Description

Location

The PSD powder diffractometer D20 shares the beam tube H11 in the reactor (level C) with two other instruments: the PSD single crystal diffractometer D19 and the high resolution powder diffractometer D2B. D20 has the end-position of this tube. The 'bouchon' H11 has to be open in order to provide neutrons for all three instruments, the 'obturateur' B2 has to be open for D2B and D20 and only the third and last shutter is exclusively for D20.
