Abstract

The aim of this article is to determine the resolution of the neutron diffraction system (NDS) installed around the Algerian Es Salam research reactor. By using a new method based on neutron radiography technique we have measured the beam divergence at the exit of Soller Collimator (α2) and hence determine effective collimations. The determination of the adequate resolution of our NDS is performed on experimental results obtained from neutron diffraction patterns for different collimation divergences (α2) and (α3) values obtained from several apertures sizes (S 2) and (S 3).
