Description

A divergence sensitive monitor. The counts are distributed in
(n times m) pixels.

Example: Divergence_monitor(nh=20, nv=20, filename="Output.pos",
xmin=-0.1, xmax=0.1, ymin=-0.1, ymax=0.1,
maxdiv_h=2, maxdiv_v=2)

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.

Name	Unit	Description	Default
nh	1	Number of pixel rows	20
nv	1	Number of pixel columns	20
filename	str	Name of file in which to store the detector image text	0
xmin	m	Lower x bound of detector opening	-0.05
xmax	m	Upper x bound of detector opening	0.05
ymin	m	Lower y bound of detector opening	-0.05
ymax	m	Upper y bound of detector opening	0.05
nowritefile	1	If set, monitor will skip writing to disk	0
xwidth	m	Width of detector. Overrides xmin, xmax	0
yheight	m	Height of detector. Overrides ymin, ymax	0
maxdiv_h	degrees	Maximal vertical divergence detected	2
maxdiv_v	degrees	Maximal vertical divergence detected	2
restore_neutron	1	If set, the monitor does not influence the neutron state	0
nx	1	x-component of the "forward" direction vector (see ny)	0
ny	1	Vector definition of "forward" direction wrt. divergence, to be used e.g. when the monitor is rotated into the horizontal plane	0
nz	1	z-component of the "forward" direction vector (see ny)	1
