Description

Double bent infinitely thin mosaic crystal, useful as a monochromator or
analyzer. which uses a small-mosaicity approximation and taking into account
higher  order scattering. The mosaic is anisotropic gaussian, with different
FWHMs in the Y and Z directions. The scattering vector is perpendicular to the
surface. For an unrotated monochromator component, the crystal plane lies in
the y-z plane (ie. parallel to the beam). The component works in reflection, but
also transmits the non-diffracted beam. Reflectivity and transmission files may
be used. The slabs are positioned in the vertical plane (not on a
cylinder/sphere), and are rotated according to the curvature radius.
When curvatures are set to 0, the monochromator is flat.
The curvatures approximation for parallel beam focusing to distance L, with
monochromator rotation angle A1 are:
RV = 2*L*sin(DEG2RAD*A1);
RH = 2*L/sin(DEG2RAD*A1);

When you rotate the component by A1 = asin(Q/2/Ki)*RAD2DEG, do not forget to
rotate the following components by A2=2*A1 (for 1st order) !
