am a neutron user, new to the field of neutron beam tracking. I had started
using mcstas few weeks ago. During my toying with the program, I had managed to
describe a simple diffraction setup with a 1D disk detector. I would like to
perform a scanning procedure with this detector, using the scan option. However,
it seems as if mcstas (version 1.12), while in the scan option, "does
not" take into consideration the number of "neutron counts" I am
asking it to use. The resulting data have the same statistics when I use either
1000 neutron counts, or 100000000 neutron counts. Whenever I perform only one
point (NO SCAN) the difference between the data resulted from different values
of "neutron counts" is obvious both in the calculation time and the
statistics.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
