Source_gen4 Component
This routine is a neutron source (rectangular or circular), which aims at
a square target centered at the beam (in order to improve MC-acceptance
rate). The angular divergence is then given by the dimensions of the
target.
The neutron energy/wavelength is distributed between Emin=E0-dE and
Emax=E0+dE or Lmin=Lambda0-dLambda and Lmax=Lambda0+dLambda. The I1 may
be either arbitrary (I1=0), or specified in neutrons per steradian per
square cm per Angstrom. A Maxwellian spectra may be selected if you give
the source temperatures (up to 3). And a high energytail of the shape A/(lambda0-lambda) can also be
specified if you give an A. Finally, a file with the flux as a
function of the wavelength [lambda(AA) flux(n/s/cm^2/st/AA)] may be used
with the 'flux_file' parameter. Format is 2 columns free text.
Additionl distributions for the horizontal and vertical phase spaces
distributions (position-divergence) may be specified with the
'xdiv_file' and 'ydiv_file' parameters. Format is free text, requiring
a comment line '# xylimits: pos_min pos_max div_min div_max' to set
the axis of the distribution matrix. All these files may be generated using
standard monitors (better in McStas/PGPLOT format), e.g.:
Monitor_nD(options="auto lambda per cm2")
Monitor_nD(options="x hdiv, all auto")
Monitor_nD(options="y vdiv, all auto")
The source shape is defined by its radius, or can alternatively be squared
if you specify non-zero h and w parameters.
The beam is spatially uniform, but becomes gaussian if one of the source
dimensions (radius, h or w) is negative, or you set the gaussian flag.
Divergence profiles are triangular.
The source may have a thickness, which will broaden the default zero time
distribution.
For the Maxwellian spectra, the generated intensity is dPhi/dLambda (n/s/AA)
For flat spectra, the generated intensity is Phi (n/s).
Usage example:
Source_gen(radius=0.1,Lambda0=2.36,dLambda=0.16, T1=20, I1=1e13)
Source_gen(h=0.1,w=0.1,Emin=1,Emax=3, I1=1e13, verbose=1, gaussian=1)
