Mirror ComponentSingle mirror plate (used to build guides in compound components). The component Mirror models a single rectangular neutron mirror plate. It can be used as a sample component or to e.g. assemble a complete neutron guide by putting multiple mirror components at appropriate locations and orientations in the instrument definition, much like a real guide is build from individual mirrors. Additionally, it may be centered in order to be used as a sample or monochromator plate, else it starts from AT position. Reflectivity is either defined by an analytical model (see Component Manual) or from a two-columns file with q [Angs-1] as first and R [0-1] as second. In the local coordinate system, the mirror lies in the first quadrant of the x-y plane, with one corner at (0, 0, 0). Plane is thus perpendicular to the incoming beam, and should usually be rotated. Example: Mirror(xwidth=.1, yheight=.1,R0=0.99,Qc=0.021,alpha=6.1,m=2,W=0.003)
