McStas: FZJ_BenchmarkSfin2

[ Identification | Description | Examples | Input parameters | Links ]

The FZJ_BenchmarkSfin2 Instrument

Test instrument for the H Frielinghaus SANS_benchmark2 component. The below test uses defaults of the instrument (SANS_benchmark2 modnum=11)

Identification

  • Site: FZ_Juelich
  • Author: Henrich Frielinghaus
  • Origin: FZ Juelich
  • Date: 2013

Description


Examples

(Test cases in bold)
  • Test: -y Detector: PSDnear_I=7400
  • Many sample-modes are available, from the SANS_benchmark2 component:
  • The component includes 19 sample-model-settings:
  • case 0 - no coherent scattering
  • case 1 - polymer with Mw = 2.000g/mol
  • case 2 - polymer with Mw = 1.000.000g/mol
  • case 3 - microemulsion
  • case 4 - wormlike micelle
  • case 5 - sphere, R = 25 AA
  • case 6 - sphere, R = 500 AA
  • case 7 - polymer blend
  • case 8 - diblock copolymer
  • case 9 - multilamellar vesicles
  • case 10 - logarithmically spaced series of sharp peaks
  • case 11 - logarithmically spaced series of sharp delta peaks !!!!!!
  • ...
  • case 15 - sphere, R = 150 AA
  • case 18 free
