Dear All,
We are doing x-ray experiments on liquid crystalline
samples which are oriented in the synchrotron beam by being
in a supercon magnet. The synchrotron experts were unhappy
about locating their detector close to the magnet, thinking
that they might be affected by the stray field. As a
result we are severely restricted in the angular dispersion
we can record. One possible solution is to use mu-metal
to deflect the magnetic field away from the detector.
Does anyone know who supplies mu-metal? Preferably in
Europe (We do these experiments at Grenoble).
Any comments on the general problem would also be most
welcome.
