<div dir="ltr">Hello,</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I am new to <span class="il">Mcstas</span>, and I am trying to simulate a double axis diffractometer. I am running into a few difficulties with the simulation:</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">1) I want to define a group of collimators and monitor detectors that are positioned radially around the sample, each having it's own scanning angle. This results in only the first collimator interacting with the neutron ray, as any neutron that
misses gets ABSORB'ed. How do I circumvent this?</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">2) I would like to compare the results of the simulation with the theoretical Caglioti resolution function, that depends on the divergence angles of the collimators and the mosaic spread. As I've noticed,
<span class="il">Mcstas</span> uses a triangular transmission function for the collimators and not a gaussian one. Will the result be different than the Caglioti curve, and is this approximation reasonable for real collimators?</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">3) Are there any plans for a <span class="il">Mcstas</span> workshop in the near future, and if so, where can I get more information?</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Thanks in advance,</div>
Daniel</div>
