Fermi Chopper with rotating frame.
Author: M. Poehlmann, C. Carbogno, H. Schober, E. Farhi
Origin: ILL Grenoble / TU Muenchen
Date: May 2002
Models a Fermi chopper with optional supermirror coated blades supermirror facilities may be disabled by setting m = 0, R0=0 Slit packages are straight. Chopper slits are separated by an infinitely thin absorbing material. The effective transmission (resulting from fraction of the transparent material and its transmission) may be specified. The chopper slit package width may be specified through the total width ’xwidth’ of the full package or the width ’w’ of each single slit. The other parameter is calculated by: xwidth = nslit*w.
Example: FermiChopper_ILL(phase=-50.0, radius=0.04, nu=100,
yheight=0.08, w=0.00022475, nslit=200.0, R0=0.0, Qc=0.02176, alpha=2.33, m=0.0, length=0.012, eff=0.95,
zero_time=0)

%VALIDATION Apr 2005: extensive external test, most problems solved (cf. ’Bugs’) Validated by: K. Lieutenant
limitations: no blade width used
%BUGS - overestimates peak width for long wavelengths - does not give the right pulse position, shape and width for slit widths below 0.1 mm - fails sometimes when using MPI
Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
