Exploitation of the Fourier chopper in neutron diffractometry at pulsed sources

The application of the Fourier chopper in the reverse time‐of‐flight mode to upgrading the performance of neutron powder diffractometry at pulsed sources is considered. Exploitation of a dual‐delay‐line binary correlator is suggested and a comprehensive analysis of the necessary data acquisition process is given. The best benefit is shown to be achievable at intensity optimized moderators.
