abstract = {The scattered intensity in polarized neutron diffraction
depends strongly on the beam polarization and the analyzing
efficiency. In order to obtain accurate values, especially
for magnetic contributions, a precise knowledge of the
polarization parameters as well as correction for the finite
polarization/analyzing efficiency are required. A new
software tool, called “SNP FileScanner”, has been
developed to simplify the data treatment for polarized
neutron diffraction measurements performed using MEOP spin
filter cells (SFC) on POLI [1]. The software tool performs
three tasks:The first one is to organize the ³He SFCs used
during the experiment. It allows to automatically extract
the typical SFC parameters (Relaxation time and ³He start
polarization with error bars) by fitting the observed
experimental transmission data. It detects automatically
changes in the monochromator settings, which can influence
the measured transmission for the SFCs, and takes them into
account.The second task is to correct spherical neutron
polarimetry (SNP) data. It can automatically read out
background-peak-background scan files from NICOS for the
individual SNP channels and correct the observed peak
intensity for the finite polarization provided by the SFC
specified in the first part. It calculates and displays the
components of the nuclear and magnetic structure factors
(NN*, MyMy*, MzMz*, Re[NMy*], …) and the corrected
polarization matrix with error bars. Since these structure
factors are determined by a least square fit to the data,
corresponding R values and a plot of the measured and
calculated intensities is shown.As third task, the software
can correct flipping ratios and asymmetry values from spin
flip measurements according to the SFC parameters provided
by the first part. The software package itself is written in
Qt (C++) and uses only QCustomPlot as third party library.
It can be easily extended to process measurement data from
other instruments.[1] V. Hutanu, M. Meven, S. Masalovich, G.
