<H1>The Four Circle Diffractometer TRICS</H1>
<P>
<h2>Introduction</h2>
The four circle diffractometer TRICS is used for the study of crystal structures
by neutron diffraction at single crystals. TRICS can be operated in two
modes: 1.) with a single counter very much like a traditional four circle
diffractometer and 2.) with three position sensitive detectors operating
like a oscillation camera as used by protein crystallographers. The second
option has not yet been implemented due to the unavailability of suitable
detectors and electronics. This manual describes the operation of TRICS
using the SICS software.
</P>
<p>
TRICS is situated at one of the beamlines for hot neutrons at the spallation
source SINQ at PSI, Switzerland. The incident beam first hits a
monochromator crystal. The selected wavelength is in principle fixed. A
monochromator lift with two monochromators and the possiblity to select
different reflections for diffraction at the monochromator however make it
possible to select between a few different neutron wavelength. The sample is
held in a standard eulerian cradle with the usual angles omega, chi and phi.
Up to three position sensitive detectors are held on a detector holder at
different angles in two theta. Or a single detector is fixed to this setup.
The three position sensitive detectors may be moved up and down on a sphere
around the sample. This allows to access different lattice planes when the
eulerian cradle has been replaced by some cryostat or other sample
environment devices to heavy to be used in conjunction with an eulerian
cradle.

<p>
The control of a four circle diffractometer requires a tight integration
between measurement procedures and specialized data anlaysis software. For
the actual control of the instrument, its movements and the actual
measurement of reflections the SICS software is provided. Preliminary data
analysis and special four circle calculations are done with a set of F77
programs. These are mostly programs which originate from the ILL, France.

Given this setup the rest of this manual logically has to have three parts:
<ul>
<li> A <a href="tricsgen.htm">general part</a> describing the principal
operation of the SICS software.
<li> A chapter describing the operation of TRICS with a
<a href="tricsingle.htm"> single counter</a>.
<li>A chapter describing the operation of TRICS with
<a href="tricspsd.htm">position sensitive</a>
detectors.
</ul>
