McStas: Guide_honeycomb

[ Identification | Description | Input parameters | Links ]

The Guide_honeycomb Component

Neutron guide with gravity and honeycomb geometry. Can be channeled and focusing.

Identification

  • Site:
  • Author: G. Venturi
  • Origin: ILL (France).
  • Date: Apr 2003

Description

Models a honeycomb guide tube centered on the Z axis. The entrance lies
in the X-Y plane. Gravitation applies also when reaching the guide input
window. The guide can be channeled (hexagonal channel section; nslit,d parameters).
The guide coating specifications may be entered via different ways (global,
or for each wall m-value).
For details on the geometry calculation see the description in the McStas
reference manual.

Example: Guide_honeycomb(w1=0.1, w2=0.1, l=12,
R0=0.99, Qc=0.0219, alpha=6.07, m=1.0, W=0.003, nslit=1, d=0.0005)
