Aspire to Become TAKUMI - TAKUMI Present Status and Research Topics -

Abstract:

The construction of The Engineering Materials Diffractometer, TAKUMI of J-PARC has been finished on March 2009, and the commissioning has been started from September 2008 being parallel with the final stage of the construction. In the commissioning, after checking the validity and the stability of the detectors and the data acquisition system, powder diffraction data of an austenitic steel alloy with 10 mm diameter without beam collimation (high intensity mode) was measured, and the resolution Δd/d of 0.4% was confirmed, as designed. Further commissioning was done also with 2 mm diameter of annealed piano wire with combination of beam collimation (high resolution mode), and the resolution Δd/d of less than 0.2% was confirmed to be achieved. TAKUMI adopted an event mode data recording method. It was found that the recording method is very useful to manipulate data as we like, for instance, detector range, time of flight binning width and time resolved data, even the experiment has been finished.
