Notes:
An engineering diffractometer designed to solve many problems in materials science andengineering including investigations of stresses and crystallographic structures within engineeringcomponents is now being developed at J-PARC project. This instrument views a decoupled-poisonedliquid H2 moderator providing neutrons with good symmetrical diffraction profiles in the acceptablewavelength range. The primary flight path and the secondary flight path are 40 m and 2.0 m,respectively, for 90 degree scattering detector banks. A curved supermirror neutron guide will beinstalled to avoid intensity loss due to the long flight path and to reduce backgrounds from fastneutrons and gamma rays. Therefore, stress measurements with sufficient accuracies in manyengineering studies are quite promising. The optimization of this instrument has been performed witha Monte Carlo simulation, and an appropriate resolution of less than 0.2 % in [removed info]d/d has beenconfirmed. A prototyped radial collimator to define a gauge width of 1 mm has been designed andmanufactured. From performance tests conducted at the neutron diffractometer for residual stressanalysis RESA in JRR-3 of Japan Atomic Energy Agency, the normal distribution with a full width athalf maximum of 1 mm was obtained in a good agreement with the simulation
