The templateSANS_Mantid Instrument

Test instrument for the Sans_spheres component. No guide / velocity selector etc. Will be developed further at later time.

Identification

Description

Very simple test instrument for the Sans_spheres componen

Modified to show a proof of concept method for storing a 'Mantid friendly' type of NeXus file.

Needed steps:
1) Compile your instrument with NeXus library support
2) Generate an IDF using mcdisplay templateSANS_Mantid --format=Mantid -n0
3) mcrun templateSANS_Mantid -n1e6 --format=NeXus

Example: lambda=6 Detector: detector_I=7.20015e+06

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.

Name	Unit	Description	Default
lambda	AA	Mean wavelength of neutrons	6
dlambda	AA	Wavelength spread of neutrons	0.05
r	AA	Radius of scattering hard spheres	150
PHI	1	Particle volume fraction	1e-3
Delta_Rho	fm/AA^3	Excess scattering length density	0.6
sigma_abs	barns	Absorption cross section at 2200 m/s	0.0
