abstract = {HEIMDAL is a thermal powder diffractometer designed to
operate at the European Spallation Source, world's most
intense neutron source. The detailed design of the
instrument, which is expected to enter user operation in
2024/2025, assumes that the neutrons scattered by the powder
under investigation will be collected with hundreds of
large-area Multi-Wire Proportional Counters employing a
10B4C-solid converter. The gas counters will consist of
large active volumes and tapered trapezoidal shapes that
allow for close packing into a cylindrical shell with high
solid angle coverage. The whole detector will operate in an
air environment within the shielding cave and provide
signals with sensitivity for locating detection in three
dimensions. This paper presents the results of a GEANT4
study of the baseline design for the HEIMDAL powder
diffraction detector. The detector model was used to study
the spatial resolution, which in the horizontal scattering
plane must be below 3 mm in order to enable high-resolution
diffraction studies. The contribution of the detector to the
resolving power of the instrument, one of the key
figures-of-merit for powder diffractometers, was also
investigated. Most of the simulation results reported in
this work cannot be validated against a sufficiently similar
physical reference until the first segment or module are
constructed and tested with a neutron beam. However, these
results can help to identify possible ways of optimising the
detector design and provide the first glimpse into the
expected performance of this technological approach.},
