McStas: Monochromator_2foc

[ Identification | Description | Input parameters | Links ]

The Monochromator_2foc Component

Double bent monochromator with multiple slabs

Identification

  • Author: Peter Link.
  • Origin: Uni. Gottingen (Germany)
  • Date: Feb. 12,1999

Description

Double bent monochromator which uses a small-mosaicity approximation as well
as the approximation vy^2 << vz^2 + vx^2.
Second order scattering is neglected.
For an unrotated monochromator component, the crystal plane lies in the y-z
plane (ie. parallel to the beam).
When curvatures are set to 0, the monochromator is flat.
The curvatures approximation for parallel beam focusing to distance L, with
monochromator rotation angle A1 are:
RV = 2*L*sin(DEG2RAD*A1);
RH = 2*L/sin(DEG2RAD*A1);

Example: Monochromator_2foc(zwidth=0.02, yheight=0.02, gap=0.0005, NH=11, NV=11,
mosaich=30, mosaicv=30, r0=0.7, Q=1.8734)
