In the meantime, those of you simulating ESS instruments can try out our new ESS moderator component, available through the download share (http://www.mcstas.org/download/share) for use with both McStas 2.x and 1.12c. The component comes with a library of ESS source brilliances, including: ? 2001, legacy "Mezei moderators" from the original F. Mezei documents, rescaled to ESS TDR frequency, pulselength and power. ? TDR, Mezei moderators, with a wavelength-dependent correction term to the cold flux, derived from 2012 MCNPX calculations by ESS neutronics group. Corrections calculated by K Lieutenant (Vitess) NOTE: uses the 2001 brilliance for the thermal moderator! ? 2013, post-TDR update with non-Maxwellian cold spectrum, Troels Schoenfeldt, BEFORE the ESS pancake geometry was introduced. ? 2014 updated brilliance using formulation by Troels Schoenfeldt, including support for the "pancacke", i.e. flat geometry and geometrical brilliance variation over the moderator surface. An important detail about the 2014-pancake moderator is that the component origin is NOT at the centre of the cylindrical cold source, but instead at the middle of the front face of the cylinder. For technical reasons, neutrons are in this case propagated from a tangential plane through that point. ? We further provide a set of example instruments for producing curves corresponding to each of the brilliance settings. ? ... as well as an updated version of the Brilliance_monitor.comp, allowing multiple instances within an instrument file We hope you will find this useful even though the official McStas 2.1 is still pending?

For instance, in your case, the angle between a and b is 60 deg. which does not fit with the cubic structure that Si generally exhibits. I'm not sure about the lengths of the unit cell vectors either: |a| = 3.84 ? does not seem right. To simply exclude the .lau file from the crystal definition will have the effect of completely disregarding coherent scattering in the simulation - you will therefore only see the contribution from incoherent scattering, which is probably not what you intended. To tell you exactly what the _right_ way to use Single_crystal as an analyzer is very difficult, as there are many ways. We'd be happy to help you find the right way for you, but to do so, we will need more details on what it is you're actually trying to do.

A list of selected, important highligts from the release are listed below the email siganture.

McStas 2.1 is the second release in the 2.x series and fixes various issues with McStas 2.0, plus provide important new developments. ? IMPORTANT: Please ensure to use our "migration scripts" for McStas 2.0 and 1.12c if you want these to co-exist with 2.1. Also, please read the platform-specific notes! ? General: ? Via NeXus libraries and a new --format=Mantid setting for the mcdisplay tool, we are now able to generate NeXus/HDF files that can be read and treated by Mantid! Mcdisplay generates a Mantid IDF description for embedding in the NeXus file, including the usual McStas instrument geometry. Please read the specific guide for this method, documented in the McStas manual, Chapter 6. ? Use of STATE_PARAMETERS and POLARIZATION parameters is no longer supported! If you have home-grown components using these, you will get this type of error with McStas 2.1: Translating instrument definition 'BNL_H8.instr' into C ... mcstas -t -o BNL_H8.c BNL_H8.instr Compiling simulation BNL_H8.instr Arm.comp is using STATE PARAMETERS mcstas-2.1 does NOT support this keyword. Please remove line 36 mcstas-2.1: 1 Errors encountered during parse of BNL_H8.instr. ** Error exit ** ? As the error message suggests, this can be fixed by simply removing/commenting out the STATE and POLARISATION parameter lines in the top of the component, i.e.: /* STATE PARAMETERS (x,y,z,vx,vy,vz,t,s1,s2,p) */ /* POLARISATION PARAMETERS (sx,sy,sz) */ ? In case of "negative time" propagation we no longer ABSORB these neutrons but rather restore the incoming neutron state, leaving it untouched for the following components. This avoids various types of shadowing effects, e.g. when placing parallel monitors that are not in a GROUP. This is furhter in preparation for the forthcoming ASSEMBLY keyword which will work roughly like an "iterative group" that loops on the ASSEMBLY of components until no furhter scattering is achieved, but always scatters first on the component which is closest (in time) to the neutron. ? "Scatter logging": With this release we provide this special ensemble of instrument examples ? Test_Scatter_log_losses.instr ? Test_Scatter_log_mvalues.instr ? Test_Scatter_log_ssw_mcnp.instr that together with the (misc cathegory) components ? Scatter_log_iterator.comp ? Scatter_log_iterator_stop.comp ? Scatter_logger.comp ? Scatter_logger_stop.comp ? provide a powerful post-processing mechanism, mainly for guide systems - that for instance can be used to study the non-propagated, i.e. absorbed neutron flux along the guide. For more information, a paper by Esben Klinkby et. al. will be available in one of the next issues of Journal of Physics: Conference Series, proceedings of the NOP&D 2013 meeting in Ismaning. Slides from Esbens talk are available here:http://orbit.dtu.dk/files/57025387/prod11375088187360.NO_P_v8.pdf ? Another important change is an optimization of the Single_crystal component that results in very large speedups, especially for large unit cells with many reflections. A speedup of more than a factor of 500 has been observed with the Perdeuterated pyrophosphatase system, for which a very large reflection list (.lau format) is provided. ? The release also contains the latest revision of the ESS_moderator component, including updated "pancake" source brilliance calculated by the ESS neutronics group and parametrized for McStas by Troels Sch?nfeldt, DTU Nutech. We have also received a nice, long list of contributions and have also developed and improved both components, instruments and core package functionalty.

It might be that my post-install script for 2.1 is missing a -f in the final link setup. (In any case, we have moved away from using /etc/alternatives/ for McStas 2.1, using that and the mccode-select script turned out to be an unneeded complexity?) I suggest you install the 2.1 rpm?s again and simply do sudo ln -sf /usr/local/mcstas/2.1/bin/* /usr/local/bin Again, thanks for reporting these issues, will fix them in the trunk - and for the metapackage-chaco issue simply upload a version that does not require python-chaco.
