[mcstas-users] Twisted guide simulations

[Kim Lefmann]

Dear Peter,

I simulated a very long curved guide recently, using piecewise straight 
segments. I realized that I had propagating uncertainties that blew up 
divergence and hence reduced intensity down the guide. While I believe 
this is a correct physical effect (after some thought), I found that to 
emulate a continuously curved guide I had to go to ridiculously short 
guide pieces, like 2-5 cm. Then, intensity was conserved... Perhaps this 
works for you?

best, Kim
