McStas - A neutron ray-trace simulation package
|
| The plot shows the intensity of scattered neutrons (red is
highest intensity). The sample is at the center of the sphere with the
neutron beam coming from the left. Clearly seen is the shadowing effect
of the sample causing a lower intensity opposite the beam. Also seen is
the effect of the non-symmetric geometry of the sample, causing lower intensity
directly above and to the side of the sample. |

May 14th, 2022: Neutron-optics and McStas/Union related Post Doc position at PSI:
Dear all,
An interesting Post Doc position is available within the Neutron Optics and Scientific Computing Group at PSI:
https://www.psi.ch/en/pa/job-opportunities/51272-post-doc-in-neutron-instrumentation
A central part of the position is expanding features of the McStas Union by adding support for reflectivity (and potentially refraction).
Main tasks are:
- Simulation and code development for neutron optics
- Extend the Monte-Carlo Ray-tracing software McStas
- Design an advanced signal-to-noice enhancing neutron optics
- Conceptualize tutorials for users
- Participate in neutron scattering experiments
For more information please refer to the link below or contact Dr. Christine Klauser <christine.klauser@psi.ch>
Best,
Peter Willendrup
February 18th, 2022: New ready-to-run McStas box in a browser
We are happy to provide a ready-to-run system with McStas pre-installed. It typically pulls-out an 8-cores computer running at Binder, for free, with both McStas 2.x and 3.x (with MPI multi-core support but no GPU). Perfect for running McStas from anywhere, for training/schools/workshops.
Start it in a single click here: 
(Please note that load-time can be a couple of minutes.)
Update:
The above docker image has been pushed to dockerhub and can also be run locally at your machine using docker:- Install docker (if needed)
docker run -p 8888:8888 docker.io/mccode/mcstas-2.7.1-3.1:1.0
- Connect your browser to the URL communicated by the docker command
