McStas: Selector

[ Identification | Description | Input parameters | Links ]

The Selector Component

velocity selector (helical lamella type) such as V_selector component

Identification

  • Site:
  • Author: Peter Link, Andreas Ostermann
  • Origin: Uni. Gottingen (Germany)
  • Date: MARCH 1999

Description

Velocity selector consisting of rotating Soller-like blades
defining a helically twisted passage.
Geometry is defined by two identical apertures at 12 o'clock position,
The origin is at the ENTRANCE of the selector.

Example: Selector(xmin=-0.015,  xmax=0.015,  ymin=-0.025, ymax=0.025, length=0.25,
nslit=72,d=0.0004, radius=0.12, alpha=48.298, nu=500)
These are values for the D11@ILL Dornier 'Dolores' Velocity Selector (NVS 023)

%VALIDATION
Jun 2005: extensive external test, one minor problem
Jan 2006: problem solved (for McStas-1.9.1)
Validated by: K. Lieutenant

%BUGS
for transmission calculation, each neutron is supposed to be in the guide centre
