[mcstas-users] monochromator curvature issue

[Peter Link]

Dear Tom,
once you use monochromator_curved.comp in an instrument simulation with 
a "real" divergent beam, you are perfectly right, the simple parallel 
beam relation doen't hold any more. At the time, when I wrote the very 
first version of this comp for the thermal TAS PUMA at FRM II, I 
"calibrated" RH, RV in dependence of A1 and L by scanning RH, RV with a 
monitor at the sample position. The resulting optimal RH(L,A1) and 
RV(L,A1) values were then used for further simulations...
Finally this corresponds somehow the procedure that you carry out on the 
real instrument, when you initialize the monochromator.
Best regards,
Peter
