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

14.100  The SANSQMonitor McStas Component

A circular detector measuring the radial average of intensity as a function of the momentum transform in the sample.

Identification

Description

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

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.

Name

Unit

Description

Default

NumberOfBins

Number of bins in the r (and q).

100

RFilename

File used for storing I(r).

"RDetector"

qFilename

File used for storing I(q).

"QDetector"

RadiusDetector

m

Radius of the detector (in the xy-plane).

DistanceFromSample

m

Distance from the sample to this component.

LambdaMin

Å

Max sensitivity in lambda - used to compute the highest possible value of momentum transfer, q.

1.0

Lambda0

If lambda is given, the momentum transfers of all rays are computed from this value. Otherwise, instrumental effects are neglected.

0.0

restore_neutron

If set to 1, the component restores the original neutron.
