The Source_flux component

An old variant of the official Source_flux_lambda component.

Identification

• Author: KN
• Origin: McStas 1.0 (1998)
• Date: August 1998
• Version:(Unknown)

Description

Models a reactor source with a flat energy distribution and a 
given neutron flux. 
This is useful for simulations where the absolute value of neutron flux,
detector counts, etc. is needed for comparison with real instruments and
experiments. 

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.

Name	Unit	Description	Default
radius	m	Radius of circle in (x,y,0) plane where neutrons are generated.
dist	m	Distance to target along z axis.
xw	m	Width(x) of target
yh	m	Height(y) of target
E0	meV	Mean energy of neutrons.
dE	meV	Energy spread of neutrons.
flux	n/s/cm^2	Neutron flux

Output parameters
