The Collimator_linear Component

A simple analytical Soller collimator (with triangular transmission).

Identification

• Author: Kristian Nielsen
• Origin: Risoe
• Date: August 1998

Description

Soller collimator with rectangular opening and specified length. The
transmission function is an average and does not utilize knowledge of the
actual neutron trajectory. A zero divergence disables collimation (then the
component works as a double slit).

Example: Collimator_linear(xmin=-0.1, xmax=0.1, ymin=-0.1, ymax=0.1, length=0.25, divergence=40,transmission=0.7)

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.

Name	Unit	Description	Default
xmin	m	Lower x bound on slits	-0.02
xmax	m	Upper x bound on slits	0.02
ymin	m	Lower y bound on slits	-0.05
ymax	m	Upper y bound on slits	0.05
xwidth	m	Width of slits	0
yheight	m	Height of slits	0
length	m	Distance between input and output slits	0.3
divergence	minutes of arc	Divergence horizontal angle (calculated as atan(d/length), where d is the blade spacing)	40
transmission	1	Transmission of Soller (0<=t<=1)	1
divergenceV	minutes of arc	Divergence vertical angle	0
