The goal of the project at JINR Dubna summer practice
1 – recalculation of angles in XPD method
2 – determination of nanodiamonds lattice parameters
3 – determination of nanodiamonds size of domains
4 – estimation of influence of sample size on resolution in SANS
5 – comparison between the SANS spectrometers with and without TOF method

Main differences between YuMO and D11
1 – D11 has got 1 PSD detector, YuMO has got 2 detectors2 – YuMO has got Vanadium standard before detectors3 – YuMO hasn’t got neutron guide (vacuum tube)
Comparison of the main feature of SANS spectrometers with and without TOF
YuMO D11With TOF
↓Wavelength resolution (1%)
Without TOF↓
Wavelength resolution (5-10%)
Pulsed reactor source↓
Power of the flux 2 MW
Continuous reactor source↓
Power of the flux 50 MW
Two detectors system↓
Better dynamic Q rate (Qmax/Qmin)
Power of the flux + neutron guide + collimation
↓Better Q-range and background
Vanadium standards before detectors↓
Calibration during measurements
Additional calibration measurements needed
Conclusions1 – It was shown that continuous and pulsed sources have both advantages and disadvantages in characteristics of main features
2 – We obtained the mean size of domains for nanodiamonds sample is 50.5(2.7) Å.
3 – We calculated that resolution dependence of size d of the measured sample in SANS experiment is also dependent of L and .
