Table 1.

The specifications of the analyzer parameters used for MultiFLEXX. All analyzers are composed of 3 HOPG crystals of 20 × 20 mm2 cross section.

kf [Å1] 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.39 1.47
Ω [a.u.] 1 0.68 0.48 0.36 0.27

The elastic linewidths ΔEsimFWHM were simulated using McStas, and the tabulated measured elastic linewidths ΔEmeasFWHM are averages over all analyzers with the same Ef. The curvature of the analyzer segments is given by ρ.  The covered solid angle Ω has been calculated from the sample-analyzer distance Dsample and the take-off angle 2θA. The resolution volume Vres is calculated directly from the take-off angle and the final wavevector kf. Both variables are normalized to the values for the Ef=2.5meV analyzer.
