The Union_logger_3D_space Component

Three dimensional logger for spatial dimensions

Identification

Description

Part of the Union components, a set of components that work together and thus
sperates geometry and physics within McStas.
The use of this component requires other components to be used.

1) One specifies a number of processes using process components
2) These are gathered into material definitions using Union_make_material
3) Geometries are placed using Union_box/cylinder/sphere, assigned a material
4) A Union_master component placed after all of the above

Only in step 4 will any simulation happen, and per default all geometries
defined before this master, but after the previous will be simulated here.

There is a dedicated manual available for the Union_components

This logger logs a 2D projection of the position of each scattering in the lab
frame. It does this in n3 space slices, so one can get a full 3D histogram of
scattering positions.

A logger will log something for scattering events happening to certain volumes,
which are specified in the target_geometry string. By leaving it blank, all
geometries are logged, even the ones not defined at this point in the
instrument file. If a list og target_geometries is selected, one can further
narrow the events logged by providing a list of process names in target_process
which need to correspond with names of defined Union_process components.

To use the logger_conditional_extend function, set it to some integer value n
and make and extend section to the master component that runs the geometry.
In this extend function, logger_conditional_extend[n] is 1 if the conditional
stack evaluated to true, 0 if not. This way one can check what rays is logged
using regular McStas monitors. Only works if a conditional is applied to this
logger.
