Abstract :
The performance characteristics of the Off Specular MicrOstrip Neutron Detector (OSMOND) are described. Based on microstrip gas chamber (MSGC) detectors, OSMOND is a high counting rate detector, with sub-millimeter position resolution, capable of replacing the existing rate limited scintillator detectors currently in use on the suite of reflectometer instruments of the ISIS spallation neutron source. The detector system is described together with results of neutron beam tests carried out on the CRISP and POLREF reflectometers.
