[mcstas-users] intercomparison between McStas and SIMRES

[Jan Saroun]

Hello Tom and Peter,

I think the problem is the theta-scale. I suppose DTT on the Peter's 
result is the full scattering angle, while the data shown by Tom are on 
Bragg angle (=DTT/2) scale. If you correct for this, the two profiles 
are very close. Also the intensity scale is not MUCH different, we 
should check first the input data for the monochromator and sample in 
order to resolve this. I attach the curves simulated by SIMRES with the 
two methods I have mentioned earlier (theta-scan and resolution function).

Regards,
Jan
