Today, the first Laue diffraction image was taken on our JOEY Laue crystal-alignment station from a single crystal of CeVO3. The image was obtained with 5 minutes counting time and an aperture of the neutron beam of 2 mm.
Please note that the camera is not fully aligned yet and no background correction was performed.
When fully operational JOEY will not be available through the normal proposal system, as it is intended to play a supporting role in alignment of single crystals for our TAIPAN and SIKA 3-axis spectrometers.
It will be requested and booked on an ad-hoc basis.
JOEY is situated on the TG3 thermal guide, downstream of KOWARI and KOALA, and will be operated by Clemens Ulrich’s group at the University of New South Wales.
