A source that produces a time and energy distribution from parameterized SNS moderator files
Author: F. X. Gallmeier
Origin: SNS Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Date: October 18, 2010
Produces a time-of-flight spectrum from SNS moderator files moderator files can be obtained from the author IMPORTANT: The output units of this component are N/pulse IMPORTANT: The component needs a FULL PATH to the source input file Notes: (1) the raw moderator files are per Sr. The parameters focus_xw focus_yh and dist provide the solid angle with which the beam line is served. The best practice is to set focus_xw and focus_yh to the width and height of the closest beam component, and dist as the distance from the moderator location to this component. (2) Be sure that Emin and Emax are within the limits of 1e-5 to 100 eV (3) the proton pulse length T determines short- and long-pulse mode
