From x-ray telescopes to neutron scattering: using axisymmetric mirrors to focus a neutron beam

B. Khaykovich, M. V. Gubarev, Y. Bagdasarova +2

We demonstrate neutron beam focusing by axisymmetric mirror systems based on a pair of mirrors consisting of a confocal ellipsoid and hyperboloid. Such a system, known as a Wolter…
