from former Brookhaven reactor. It is directly illuminated by the moderator,
and has flat monochromator and analyzer. Sample is a vanadium cylinder.
Such an instrument was used for the Monte Carlo neutron simulation package
cross comparison related in paper "A Model Instrument for Monte Carlo Code
Comparisons", Neutron News 13 (No. 4), 24-29 (2002).

This version of the instrument does not use the SPLIT keyword and is comparable
to the version provided with McStas 1.12c. Has been added for benchmarking
