Kowari (strain scanner)

Our first pole figure (111) of a standard copper sample was measured on Kowari and calculated with "2Diffcalc" as shown in the figure below. At this stage of commissioning the texture option on Kowari leads to comparable results with other pole figure measurements at different neutron and synchrotron beamlines. With some further testing of different samples and instrument set-ups routine texture measurements will be feasible for users very soon.
