The modernization of the detector system and control system of the neutron powder diffractome ter (NPD) in the GEK 5 channel of the VVR c reactor (Obninsk Branch, Karpov Institute of Physical Chemistry) is described. The PC connected hardware and software complex, which ensures data acquisition and storage and control of the experiments, is created. The main modules of the NPD automation system and Sonix+ control software package, designed at the Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics at JINR, are briefly described. The modernization has made it possible to increase the luminosity of the diffractometer and com pletely automatize the measurement process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
