Spherical position-sensitive detector with logarithmic scale.

Identification

• Author: KL and KN
• Origin: McStas release
• Date: April 17, 1998
• Version: 1.5
• Modification history:
  • KN, December 1999

Description

This component is a hack. It is identical to the PSD_monitor_4PI component,
except that the values in the output histogram are the logarithms of the
intensities rather than the intensities themselves. This is useful in
Laue-diffraction patterns (like in the McStas tutorial), but does not work
together too well with the current McStas method of handling detectors.

Input parameters
