The Guide_curved Component

Non-focusing curved neutron guide.

Identification

• Site:
• Author: Ross Stewart
• Origin: ILL (France).
• Date: November 18 2003

Description

Models a rectangular curved guide tube with entrance centered on the Z axis.
The entrance lies in the X-Y plane.  Draws a true depiction
of the guide, and trajectories.  Guide is not focusing.

Example: Guide_curved(w1=0.1, h1=0.1, l=2.0, R0=0.99, Qc=0.021,
alpha=6.07, m=2, W=0.003, curvature=2700)

%BUGS
This component does not work with gravitation on. Use component Guide_gravity then.
Systematic error on transmitted flux is found to be about 10%.

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.

Name	Unit	Description	Default
w1	m	Width at the guide entry
