The Texture_process Component

Identification

Description

Part of the Union components, a set of components that work together and thus
seperates geometry and physics within McStas.
The use of this component requires other components to be used.

This component deals with the coherent elastic scattering on a textured material.
The texture is described through the coefficients of the generalized Fourier transform
of the Orientation Distribution Function (ODF).
The component expects as input two files, one containing the Fourier coefficients of the
ODF and another one with crystallographic and physical information.
