Sapphire filter thickness optimization in neutron scattering instruments

The present work is concerned with the optimization of the sapphire fast neutron filter thickness used in neutron diffraction instruments. The optimization is based on maximization of the slow neutron transmission, minimization of the fast neutron transmission, and also taking into consideration the neutron background at the vicinity of an instrument. Scattering properties of the sapphire in the fast and slow neutron regions are discussed.
