The Source_div_quasi Component

Quasi-stochastic neutron source with Gaussian or uniform divergence

Identification

Description

A flat rectangular surface source with uniform or Gaussian divergence profile and focussing.
If the parametere gauss is not set (the default) the divergence profile is flat
in the range [-focus_ax,focus_ay]. If gauss is set, the focux_ax,focus_ay is considered
the standard deviation of the gaussian profile.
Currently focussing is only active for flat profile. The "focus window" is defined by focus_xw,focus_yh and dist.
The spectral intensity profile is uniformly distributed in the energy interval defined by e0+-dE/2 or
by wavelength lambda0+-dlambda/2

The phase space spanned by the generated neutrons is sampled by means of Halton-sequences, instead of regular
pseudo random numbers. This ensures that samples are evenly distributed within the phase space region of interest.

Example: Source_div_quasi(xwidth=0.1, yheight=0.1, focus_aw=2, focus_ah=2, E0=14, dE=2, gauss=0)
