A pulsed source for variable proton pulse lenghts
Author: Klaus Lieutenant, based on component ’Moderator’ by K. Nielsen, M. Hagen and ’ESS_moderator_long_2001’ by K. Lefmann
Origin: FZ Juelich
Date:
Produces a long pulse spectrum with a wavelength distribution as a sum of up to 3 Maxwellian distributions and one of undermoderated neutrons
It uses the time dependence of long pulses. Short pulses can, however, also be simulated by setting the proton pulse short.
If moderator width and height are given, it assumes a rectangular moderator, and otherwise a circular
Usage example: Source_pulsed(xwidth=0.04, yheight=0.04, Lmin=1.0, Lmax=3.0, t_min=0.0, t_max=0.5, dist=0.700, focus_xw=0.020, focus_yh=0.020,
freq=96.0, t_pulse=0.000208, T1=325.0, I1=7.6e09, tau1=0.000170, I_um=2.7e08, chi_um=2.5)
Parameters for some sources: HBS thermal source: xwidth=0.04, yheight=0.04, T1=325.0, I1=0.68e+12/freq, tau1=0.000125, n_mod=10, I_um=2.47e+10/freq, chi_um=2.5, t_pulse=0.016/freq, freq=96.0 or 24.0
HBS cold source : radius=0.010, T1= 60.0, I1=1.75e+12/freq, tau2=0.000170, n_mod= 5, I_um=3.82e+10/freq, chi_um=0.9, t_pulse=0.016/freq, freq=24.0 or 96.0 HBS bi-spectral : radius=0.022, r_i=0.010, T1= 60.0, I1=1.75e+12/freq, tau2=0.000170, T2=305.0, I2=0.56e+12/freq, tau1=0.000130, n_mod= 5, I_um=3.82e+10/freq, chi_um=2.5, t_pulse=0.016/freq, freq=24.0 or 96.0
Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
