McStas: Source_Maxwell_3

[ Identification | Description | Input parameters | Links ]

The Source_Maxwell_3 Component

Source with up to three Maxwellian distributions

Identification

  • Site:
  • Author: Kim Lefmann
  • Origin: Risoe
  • Date: March 2001

Description

A parametrised continuous source for modelling a (cubic) source
with (up to) 3 Maxwellian distributions.
The source produces a continuous spectrum.
The sampling of the neutrons is uniform in wavelength.

Units of flux: neutrons/cm^2/second/ster
(McStas units are in general neutrons/second)

Example:  PSI cold source T1=150.42 K / 2.51 AA     I1 = 3.67 E11
T2=38.74 K / 4.95 AA      I2 = 3.64 E11
T3=14.84 K / 9.5 AA       I3 = 0.95 E11
