Description

This is an ideal model of a polarization analyser device. Given a polarization vector
it "lets through" a scaled neutron weight. An imperfect analyzer could be modelled by an
analysis vector M with |M|<1.

Example: PolAnalyser_ideal(mx=0, my=1, mz=0)

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.

Name	Unit	Description	Default
mx	1	X-component of polarisation analysis vector -1	0
my	1	Y-component of polarisation analysis vector -1	0
mz	1	Z-component of polarisation analysis vector -1	0

AT (	,	,		) RELATIVE		Generate
ROTATED (	,	,		) RELATIVE
