Guide_gravity ComponentModels a rectangular straight guide tube centered on the Z axis, with gravitation handling. The entrance lies in the X-Y plane. The guide can be channeled (nslit,d,nhslit parameters). The guide coating specifications may be entered via different ways (global, or for each wall m-value). Waviness (random) may be specified either globally or for each mirror type. Side chamfers (due to substrate processing) may be specified the same way. In order to model a realistic straight guide assembly, a long guide of length 'l' may be splitted into 'nelements' between which chamfers/gaps are positioned. The reflectivity may be specified either using an analytical mode (see Component manual) or as a text file in free format, with 1st column as q[Angs-1] and 2nd column as the reflectivity R in [0-1]. For details on the geometry calculation see the description in the McStas component manual. There is a special rotating mode in order to approximate a Fermi Chopper behaviour, in the case the neutron trajectory is nearly linear inside the chopper slits, i.e. the neutrons are fast w/r/ to the chopper speed. Slits are straight, but may be super-mirror coated. In this case, the component is NOT centered, but located at its entry window. It should then be shifted by -l/2. Example: Guide_gravity(w1=0.1, h1=0.1, w2=0.1, h2=0.1, l=12, R0=0.99, Qc=0.0219, alpha=6.07, m=1.0, W=0.003) %VALIDATION May 2005: extensive internal test, all problems solved Validated by: nslit.
