“…Because of the fact that the POWTEX instrument is currently under construction on beamline SR5a at the FRM II neutron source, real experimental data sets are not available yet. Nonetheless, it is mandatory to (approximately) know the POWTEX data ahead of the instrument's realization, for obvious reasons; this may be accomplished as follows: instrument simulation programs using Monte Carlo methods (Lefmann & Nielsen, 1999;Lieutenant et al, 2014;Wechsler et al, 2000;Zsigmond et al, 2006) may be used in order to obtain data sets that closely resemble those that will be obtained by the instrument in the future. Consequently, the VITESS program package (Lieutenant et al, 2014;Wechsler et al, 2000;Zsigmond et al, 2006) was utilized to simulate data sets based on instrumental parameters of the POWTEX diffractometer.…”
