The Guide Component

Neutron guide.

Identification

Description

Models a rectangular guide tube centered on the Z axis. The entrance lies
in the X-Y plane.
For details on the geometry calculation see the description in the McStas
reference manual.
The reflectivity profile may either use an analytical mode (see Component
Manual) or a 2-columns reflectivity free text file with format
[q(Angs-1) R(0-1)].

Example: Guide(w1=0.1, h1=0.1, w2=0.1, h2=0.1, l=2.0, R0=0.99, Qc=0.021, alpha=6.07, m=2, W=0.003

%VALIDATION
May 2005: extensive internal test, no bugs found
Validated by: K. Lieutenant

%BUGS
This component does not work with gravitation on. Use component Guide_gravity then.
