14.83  The SANSShells McStas Component

A sample of monodisperse shell-like particles in solution.

Identification

Description

A simple component simulating the scattering from a box-shaped, thin solution of monodisperse, shell-like particles.

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
