English abstract:
Neutron spectroscopy is a powerful tool to examine the fundamental properties of condensed matter, mostly
using a so called triple axis spectrometer. A critical problem
of this measurement procedure is the collision free and time
optimized physical positioning of the instruments axes to the
desired coordinates in momentum and energy space. This
work shows the concept and the implementation of the library
"paprika", which is a control tool for neutron spectrometers,
avoiding collisions and calculating a time optimized path. The
tool was created for the PUMA, a triple axis spectrometer
located at the new research reactor FRM-II in Garching
near Munich. Furthermore it can be easily adopted to other
applications.
