OrientExpress Test Laue neutron-diffractometer

OrientExpress is fast!

While OrientExpress is located at a low flux position behind other machines on a long neutron guide, it is still so fast that diffraction patterns that previously took minutes with photographic film can now be obtained in seconds.

OrientExpress compared with a classical neutron Laue camera.With photographic detector 10 minutes were necessary to collect a Laue pattern that OrienExpress collects within 10 seconds.
