The multidetector texture diffractometer
SKAT (from Russian: Spektrometer
Kolitshestvennovo Analiza Tekstury) at
the pulsed reactor IBR-2 in Dubna,
Russia, started operation in March
1997 and is open for users from all
countries. Application of time-of-flight
(TOF) diffraction to texture measurements
offers the opportunity to record
complete diffraction patterns, i.e., to
measure several pole figures simultaneously. To allow high
spectral resolution for measurements on polyphase geological samples with many
diffraction patterns, the instrument was
placed at the end of an over 100m long
flight path. In this paper, we will summarize
advantages and disadvantages of
the SKAT, as well as intended improvements.
