The component library is maintained by the McStas system group. A number of basic components “belongs” the McStas system, and are supported and tested by the McStas team.
Other components are contributed by specific authors, who are listed in the code for each component they contribute as well as in this manual. McStas users are encouraged to send their contributions to us for inclusion in future releases.
Some contributed components have later been taken over for further development by the McStas system group, with permission from the original authors. The original authors will still appear both in the component code and in the McStas manual.
