The Lens Component

Refractive lens with absorption, incoherent scattering and surface imperfection.

Identification

Description

Refractive Lens with absorption, incoherent scattering and surface imperfection. 
Geometry may be:
  spherical (use r1 and r2 to specify radius of curvature), 
  planar (use phiy1 and phiy2 to specify rotation angle of plane w.r.t beam) 
  or parabolic (use focus1 and focus2 as optical focal length). 
The lens cross-section is seen as a 2*radius disk from the beam Z axis.
Usually, you should stack more than one of these to get a significant effect 
on the neutron beam, so-called 'compound refractive lens'.
The focal length for N lenses with focal 'f' is f/N.

Common material: 
  MgF2: density=3.148,weight=62.3018,sigma_coh=11.74,sigma_inc=0.0816,sigma_abs=0.0822
  diamond: density=3.52,weight=12.01,sigma_coh=5.551,sigma_inc=0.001,sigma_abs=0.0035
  Quartz/silica:density=2.53,weight=60.08,sigma_coh=10.625,sigma_inc=0.0056,sigma_abs=0.1714
  perfluoropolymer

Example: Lens(r1=0.025,r2=0.025, thickness=0.001,radius=0.0150)
