McStas: Collimator_linear

[ Identification | Description | Input parameters | Links ]

The Collimator_linear Component

A simple analytical Soller collimator (with triangular transmission).

Identification

  • Site:
  • Author: Kristian Nielsen
  • Origin: Risoe
  • Date: August 1998

Description

Soller collimator with rectangular opening and specified length. The
transmission function is an average and does not utilize knowledge of the
actual neutron trajectory. A zero divergence disables collimation (then the
component works as a double slit).

Example: Collimator_linear(xmin=-0.1, xmax=0.1, ymin=-0.1, ymax=0.1, length=0.25, divergence=40,transmission=0.7)

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
