Abstract

The concept of a neutron Hybrid Spectrometer (HYSPEC) combines the time-of-flight spectroscopy with the focusing Bragg optics and incorporates a polarized beam option. Here we describe the polarization analysis scheme proposed for HYSPEC and quantify its performance via the Monte-Carlo simulations. We find that the broadband supermirror-bender transmission polarizers provide reasonably good polarization analysis capability within about 8-10 meV energy window for scattered neutron energies in the thermal range up to about 25 meV.
