[mcstas-users] PSD monitor

[Peter Willendrup]

Hello Geno,


What is plotted is the intensity (i.e. the sum of the monte-carlo  
weight 'p' of the arriving neutron rays).  Intensities in McStas are  
always 'per time-unit', i.e. a kind of flux. The normalization of  
course depends on what starting value of the neutron weight is  
assigned in the source component.

For further information, please consult chapter 4 in the McStas users  
manual.


Best regards,

Peter Willendrup
