<strong>Simul<strong>at</strong>ions</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Chopper</strong> <strong>Jitter</strong> <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>LET</strong> <strong>Neutron</strong> <strong>Spectrometer</strong> <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> ISIS TS2 3Figure 2. <strong>LET</strong> chopper and guide layout. Top panel shows <strong>the</strong> chopper distancesand chopper geometry. Bottom panel shows <strong>the</strong> layout <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> guide, with <strong>the</strong> chopperpositions outlined.[7]• The slow Frame Overlap (FO) chopper removes long wavelength neutrons from <strong>the</strong>previous moder<strong>at</strong>or pulse.• The Pulse Removal (PR) chopper selectively removes pulses, to increase pulsesepar<strong>at</strong>ion, by running <strong>at</strong> an integer factor slower than <strong>the</strong> resolution choppers.This is illustr<strong>at</strong>ed in fig. 4, where <strong>the</strong> PR is run <strong>at</strong> half <strong>the</strong> speed <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> resolutionchoppers, to remove every second pulse.• The contaminant removal chopper (CR) removes fast neutrons coming from <strong>the</strong> tail<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> pulse.[4]Illustr<strong>at</strong>ed by simul<strong>at</strong>ion results in figure 4, <strong>the</strong> white beam from <strong>the</strong> short pulsed(4 µs) moder<strong>at</strong>or is separ<strong>at</strong>ed into a few distinct wavelengths by <strong>the</strong> first set <strong>of</strong> fast
