Powder_process ComponentThis Union_process is based on the PowderN.comp component originally written by P. Willendrup, L. Chapon, K. Lefmann, A.B.Abrahamsen, N.B.Christensen, E.M.Lauridsen. Part of the Union components, a set of components that work together and thus sperates geometry and physics within McStas. The use of this component requires other components to be used. 1) One specifies a number of processes using process components like this one 2) These are gathered into material definitions using Union_make_material 3) Geometries are placed using Union_box / Union_cylinder, assigned a material 4) A Union_master component placed after all of the above Only in step 4 will any simulation happen, and per default all geometries defined before the master, but after the previous will be simulated here. There is a dedicated manual available for the Union_components Algorithm: Described elsewhere

| Vc | AA^3 | Volume of unit cell=nb atoms per cell/density of atoms. | 0 | |
| delta_d_d | 0/1 | Global relative delta_d_d/d broadening when the 'w' column is not available. Use 0 if ideal. | 0 | |
| DW | 1 | Global Debye-Waller factor when the 'DW' column is not available. Use 1 if included in F2 | 0 | |
| nb_atoms | 1 | Number of sub-unit per unit cell, that is ratio of sigma for chemical formula to sigma per unit cell | 1 | |
| d_phi | deg | Angle corresponding to the vertical angular range to focus to, e.g. detector height. 0 for no focusing. | 0 | |
| density | g/cm^3 | Density of material. rho=density/weight/1e24*N_A. | 0 | |
| weight | g/mol | Atomic/molecular weight of material. | 0 | |
| barns | 1 | Flag to indicate if |F|^2 from 'reflections' is in barns or fm^2 (barns=1 for laz, barns=0 for lau type files). | 1 | |
| Strain | ppm | Global relative delta_d_d/d shift when the 'Strain' column is not available. Use 0 if ideal. | 0 | |
