[mcstas-users] Neutron Source on Mcstas

[Emmanuel FARHI]

Hello Boualem,

Perhaps you can use a lambda/divergence monitor after the source to see
what you get, or look at the source code of Source_div and identify how is
set the weight 'p' or the directional/velocity sampling.

What I see is that the velocity sampling is uniform within DeltaLambda,
and the directional/divergence sampling is Gaussian when 'gauss=1', and
uniform when 'gauss=0', whithin given divergence bounds.

Emmanuel.
