[neutron-mc] Trouble with Single_Crystal

Hello all,
I'm having a little bit of trouble with the single_crystal component. I've
created a .lau file in Crystallographica to simulated an Si analyzer
crystal. I simply want to reflect a neutron beam of wavelength 2.866 A
using the 311 plane (d = 1.637) of Si. So I've set up the crystal to
satisfy the Bragg condition, giving theta = 61.823, and thus 2theta =
123.646. I put a banana shaped detector around this 2theta, and I get no
reflections.
Here is the crystal:
COMPONENT analyzer = Single_crystal(
reflections = "Si.lau", xwidth = 0.1, yheight = 0.1,
zthick = 0.01, delta_d_d = 0, mosaic = 18, order = 0,
p_transmit = 0, absorption = 0, incoherent = 0, ax = 5.430530,
by = 5.430530, cz = 5.430530, aa = 90, bb = 90, cc = 90)
AT (0, 0, 0) RELATIVE a1
ROTATED ( 0, theta311, 0) RELATIVE sample_arm
Can any one offer any suggestions as to why this might not be working?
I've also attached the Si.lau file.
Thanks,
Aaron
