A crystal spectrometer for neutron measurements has been developed which has relatively good resolution over an effective energy range from 0.08 to >20 ev. The figure of merit which has been obtained is 0.171 &mgr;sec/m with Be (123¯1) and 0.127 &mgr;sec/m with Be (224¯2) monochromator. The good resolution is made possible by a multiple channel collimator (Soller slit) of novel design. The collimator is described in detail and the resolution function for the system is derived and discussed. It is shown that the resolution of the system is essentially independent of the mosaic spread of the crystal. Experimental results are presented which illustrate the performance of the instrument.
