To overcome the unavailability of a 2-dimesional Position Sensitive Detector (2D PSD) and record scattering in 2d plane, a crisscross geometry of multi 1-dimensional PSDs (multi 1D PSDs) has been envisaged, designed, fabricated and installed at Small Angle Neutron Scattering instrument at Dhruva. The housing-shielding set up for multi 1D PSDs is 2.1 m long with sufficient shielding for neutrons and gamma background radiation and is designed for vacuum enabled neutron flight after scattering from sample. The new geometry of multi 1D PSDs allows the measurements with better statistics and access to smaller Q (large length scale). Overall data quality has been improved.
