Abstract
Newly developed reflecting neutron collimators promise increased detector count rates in a field where most work is intensity-limited. The effects of such elements on instrument resolution are complicated and appear to be even more subtle than previously imagined. Numerical tests using theMcSTASray-tracing program (http://neutron.risoe.dk/mcstas) are reported which support and extend the recent analysis of these effects. If reflecting collimators are used in all instrument positions they give unusual scan profiles. Using reflecting collimators only before the monochromator and immediately before the detector has no deleterious resolution effects and increases count rates by a factor of more than two on powder diffractometers.
