McStas: Test_PowderN_Res

[ Identification | Description | Input parameters | Links ]

The Test_PowderN_Res Instrument

Idealized powder diffractometer, to illustrate the difference between 'banana,theta' and 'banana,divergence' in Monitor_nD.

Description

Idealized powder diffractometer, to illustrate the difference between 'banana,theta' and 'banana,divergence' in Monitor_nD. Includes a Na2Ca3Al2F14 powder sample.

The beam from the source is very low-divergent, to allow studying effects at the sample "only".

By default, absorption in the sample is effectively suppressed.

Example: Lambda0=2.5667 dLambda=0.01 radius=0.001,0.021 TT=71.8 D_PHI=6 SPLITS=117 Distance=30 sig_abs=1e-09 -N21
