[mcstas-users] Updated ESS source components for McStas 1.12c and 2.0

[Peter Kjær Willendrup]

Hi all,


A set of updated ESS source components have been placed on the mcstas.org<http://mcstas.org> download share ( http://www.mcstas.org/download/share ).

The zip file ( http://www.mcstas.org/download/share/ESS_source_20130502.zip ) includes:

1) Updated ESS source components for McStas 1.12c and 2.0 with
• Cold and thermal moderators
• Cylindrical cold source geometry
• Flat thermal wing geometry
• Geometry close to that from MCNPX
• 2012 cold brightness
• A much easier-to-use definition of geometry, allowing to specify the instrument position within a 60-degree sector
• A couple of bug fixes

2) Updated Brilliance_monitor.comp for McStas 1.12c and 2.0 (was not included in 1.12 and had an MPI issue in 2.0)

3) ESS_moderator_long_2001.comp for McStas 1.12c (the same as included in McStas 2.0)

3) Test instruments set up for estimating the (cold) source brilliance
   of ESS in 2012 and 2001 versions

4) PDF plots of average and peak brilliance as produced by the new McStas
   source, overlayed on the officialcurve from ESS target division and
   the corresponding curve from VitESS.

We hope to soon release McStas either a 2.0a or 2.1 which will include these as well as other improvements.


Best,

Peter Willendrup
