Release: McStas 1.12

SANS sample, spherical shells in thin solution with gaussian size distribution

Identification

Description

Sample for Small Angle Neutron Scattering - spherical shells in thin solution with gaussian size distribution The shape of the sample may be a cylinder of given radius or a box with dimensions xwidth, yheight, zthick. qmax defines a cutoff in q.

Example: Sans_spheres(R = 100, dR = 5, dbilayer=35, Phi = 1e-3, Delta_rho = 0.6, sigma_a = 50, qmax = 0.3 ,xwidth=0.01, yheight=0.01, zthick=0.005)

%BUGS This component does NOT simulate absolute intensities. This latter depends on the detector parameters.
