A geometrical Ewald construction for small-angle neutron scattering experiments from line-like objects with a preferential orientation of the lines, such as flux-line lattices in type-II superconductors, is described. The Ewald construction offers a straightforward way to interpret rocking-curve experiments. It allows calculation of the resolution function in rocking-curve measurements. The resolution function for a given instrumental geometry can be readily computed by performing two numerical integrations.

The magnetic phase diagram of slightly overdoped La 2-x Sr x CuO 4 (x=0.17) is characterised by a field-induced hexagonal to square transition of the vortex lattice at low fields (~ 0.4 Tesla) [R. Gilardi et al., Phys. Rev. Lett.88, 217003 (2002)]. Here we report on a small angle neutron scattering study of the vortex lattice at higher fields, that reveals no further change of the coordination of the square vortex lattice up to 10.5 Tesla applied perpendicular to the CuO 2 planes. Moreover, it is found that the diffraction signal disappears at temperatures well below Tc, due to the melting of the vortex lattice.
