The DMC instrument will be upgraded over the next few years, and you may be able to find a suggestion for improvement that is better than the planned. Perhaps you can save PSI a few million Swiss Francs?<br />

The best instrument is the one that gives the best results in terms of intensity and resolution combined. A good figure-of-merit could be peak intensity squared divided by peak width (and it is not allowed to increase the structure factor).<br />

It may be possible to optimize guide parameters and geometry, monochromator parameters and geometry, distances, collimations, detector dimensions. Note that McStas has a built-in optimizer function. The details of this is best explained in the class.<br />
