Abstract: Two types of polarized neutron reflectometers have been simulated for the compact neutron source DARIA (Dedicated for Academical Research and Industrial Application), depending on the type of target assembly with thermal or cryogenic moderators. Modeling and optimization of reflectometers were carried out using McStas software package by the Monte Carlo method with specified momentum transfer resolution Δq/q ≤ 5% for reflection angles greater than the critical angle θcr and a neutron beam horizontal divergence of Δθ ≤ 0.1° for θ < θcr and Δθ ≤ 0.033° for θ > θcr. To reduce losses in neutrons, neutron guides with a supermirror coating have been proposed. A system of choppers makes it possible to create a neutron spectrum of the required width on a sample. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
