Abstract
The VENUS Neutron Imaging instrument at the Spallation Neutron Source has gone through a multitudeof optical design changes since its original conception. The goal of this report is to quantify the performanceof the most recent optical design and provide insight into potential improvements to this design as neededto ensure optimal performance of the instrument. The results will come in the form of a refined and well de-veloped simulation that provides as best a representation of the performance of the instrument as reasonablyachievable. This simulation will be available in a repository along side relevant simulation output needed toinform any future decisions on the design of the instrument.
