10 .2.7 Time focussing<br />

It seems unsatisfactory that by a TOF spectrometer ai a continuous source (reactor) only<br />

a sinall fraction (1%) of the continuous primary beam is utilized . On the other hand the<br />

TOF-analysis correlates the energy resolution with the length of the neutron pulses OT .<br />

However there is trick to partly compensate for this correlation and to achieve a multiplication<br />

of the intensity without resolution loss (at the elastic line), see fig . 10 .8 . The<br />

chopper opening may last longer if there is a correlation between time and wavelength<br />

(velocity) of the neutrons during the opening interval such that all neutrons arrive at the<br />

saine time at the detector -as indicated in fig . 10 .8 . By this means the elastic line remains<br />
