Abstract

The VENUS Neutron Imaging instrument at the Spallation Neutron Source has gone through a multitude of optical design changes since its original conception. The goal of this report is to quantify the performance of the most recent optical design and provide insight into potential improvements to this design as needed to ensure optimal performance of the instrument. The results will come in the form of a refined and well developed simulation that provides as best a representation of the performance of the instrument as reasonably achievable. This simulation will be available in a repository alongside relevant simulation output needed to inform any future decisions on the design of the instrument.
