The rotor of a velocity selector is shown in Figure 8 .14 . This rotor is mounted in a housing<br />

and can rotate with a speed up to 30000 ipm. It is transparent for a given wave length<br />

depending on the speed of the rotator . A distribution of neutron wave length aller passing the<br />

selector is shown in Figure 8 .15 . The neutron wave length is inversely proportional to the<br />

frequency of rotation ; the exact relationship and the halfwidth of the wave length distribution<br />

is determined by the tilt angle and the width ofthe channels .<br />

8 .5.3 . Local sensitive Detectors<br />

Local sensitive detectors are necessaiy for an optimized use of small angle scattering and<br />

reflection instruments . The resolution element of a detector for the pin-hole SANS is typically<br />

0.5-lcm, for the focusing SANS and reflectometer lmm. A two dimensional local sensitive<br />

detector has at least 64x64 resolution elements . There are detectors on the basis of gas- and<br />

scintillation detection.<br />

8 .5.3.1 . Gas Detector<br />

The presently mostly used detector for SANS are 3 He gas detectors . The neutron is absorbed<br />

by an 3 He gas atom which then decomposes according to<br />
