Component Manual for the Neutron Ray-Tracing Package McStas, version 3.8.6

14.59  The Pol_triafield McStas Component

Constant magnetic field in a isosceles triangular coil

Identification

Description

Rectangular box with constant B field along y-axis (up) in a isosceles triangle. There is a guide (or precession) field as well. It is along y in the entire rectangular box. A neutron hitting outside the box opening or the box sides is absorbed.

The angle of the inclination of the triangular field boundary is given by the arctangent to xwidth/(0.5*zdepth)

This component does NOT take gravity into account.

Example: Pol_triafield(xwidth=0.1, yheight=0.1, zdepth=0.2, B=1e-3, Bguide=0.0)
