Abstract
The new single-crystal diffractometer for the Replacement Research Reactor in Australia will be a quasi-Laue diffractometer, similar to VIVALDI at ILL, France. It will be competitive with the best instruments currently available. Data collection times for a normal structure determination will be less than a day, a considerable improvement on current data collection times, typically a few weeks at HIFAR. Also, the crystal size needed for an experiment can as small as about 0.1 mm3, opening up new research areas where it has proved difficult to grow crystals sufficiently big (several mm3) which are currently needed. An area of research opening up will be multiple temperature and/or pressure measurements. More detailed information on the instrument will be presented. © The Author
