Incoherent ComponentA Double-cylinder shaped incoherent scatterer (like Vanadium) with both elastic and quasielastic (Lorentzian) components. No multiple scattering (but approximation available). Absorption included. Sample focusing: The area to scatter to is a disk of radius 'focus_r' situated at the target. This target area may also be rectangular if specified focus_xw and focus_yh or focus_aw and focus_ah, respectively in meters and degrees. The target itself is either situated according to given coordinates (x,y,z), or defined with the relative target_index of the component to focus to (next is +1). This target position will be set to its AT position. When targeting to centered components, such as spheres or cylinders, define an Arm component where to focus to. Sample shape: Sample shape may be a cylinder, a sphere, a box or any other shape box/plate: xwidth x yheight x zdepth (thickness=0) hollow box/plate:xwidth x yheight x zdepth and thickness>0 cylinder: radius x yheight (thickness=0) hollow cylinder: radius x yheight and thickness>0 sphere: radius (yheight=0 thickness=0) hollow sphere: radius and thickness>0 (yheight=0) any shape: geometry=OFF file The complex geometry option handles any closed non-convex polyhedra. It computes the intersection points of the neutron ray with the object transparently, so that it can be used like a regular sample object. It supports the PLY, OFF and NOFF file format but not COFF (colored faces). Such files may be generated from XYZ data using: qhull < coordinates.xyz Qx Qv Tv o > geomview.off or powercrust coordinates.xyz and viewed with geomview or java -jar jroff.jar (see below). The default size of the object depends of the OFF file data, but its bounding box may be resized using xwidth,yheight and zdepth. Example: Incoherent(radius=0.05,focus_r=0.035, pack=1, target_index=1) Incoherent(geometry="socket.off",focus_r=0.035, pack=1, target_index=1)
