The SE_example Instrument

Mockup of transmission Spin-Echo, written for PNCMI 2010 school in Delft.

Identification

• Site: Tests_polarization
• Author: Erik Knudsen, Peter Willendrup
• Origin: Risoe
• Date: June 2010

Description

This instrument shows the use of essential McStas polarisation components, including Pol_mirror, Pol_Bfield and MeanPolLambda_monitor.

Pol_mirror is used to polarize and analyze the incoming and scattered beams.
Pol_Bfield is used to define guidefields and flippers.
MeanPolLambda_montior is used to monitor beam polarisation.

Example: mcrun SE_example.instr dBz=-0.0001,0.0001 -N41 -n1e5

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
