McStas: StatisticalChopper

[ Identification | Description | Input parameters | Links ]

The StatisticalChopper Component

Statistical (correlation) Chopper

Identification

  • Site:
  • Author: C. Monzat/E. Farhi/S. Rozenkranz
  • Origin: ILL
  • Date: Nov 10th, 2009

Description

This component is a statistical chopper based on a pseudo random sequence that the user
can specify. Inspired from DiskChopper, it should be used with SatisticalChopper_Monitor component.

Example: StatisticalChopper(nu=1487*60/255) use default sequence
