<DIV>Dear All, </DIV>
<DIV> I'm new in McStas modelling and I'm having some problems understanding the results from Code. I'm using the 2.4.1 version to model a simple TOF example using a reactor beam as source (thermal) and a disk chopper. My model (se attached .png) consist of Maxwelian source (using Source_gen), a non-reflecting beam (using guide with m=0), a Chopper (using DiskChopper) another ~5m beam after the chopper and finally, a collimator and an MCA in time mode (modeled using a TOF_monitor with 1000 Time channels). </DIV>
<DIV> I get the results in TOF monitor and several questions arise: </DIV>
<DIV> 1 - The results are per unit time (1/s) as for the flux ? (i.e. the TOF monitor represents the acumulated counts in 1s with efficiency =1) ?</DIV>
<DIV> 2 - I should expect that the transmision of the Chopper would change with its velocity, but I found no dependency in TOF monitor (see attached Figure). </DIV>
<DIV> Obviously I am missing something, but I cannot figure which is the problem. </DIV>
<DIV> Thanks in advance for any help, </DIV>
