[mcstas-users] split neutron into component

[Santiago Gómez]

Hello

I would like to split a neutron inside component.

As far I see it is possible to split a neutron that reaches a specific 
component using the SPLIT macro before the component declaration in the 
instrument file, but it cannot be used inside de component.

I would prefer to split the neutron inside my component because if I do 
the SPLIT outside, a series of calculations already done be my 
components will be redundant (I would say more than 50% of all the 
calculation of the component).

The idea of the split is to do a variance reduction which optimizes the 
time, so for my component will be much more better to do that inside the 
component code.

Is it possible to performs it? I think that a similar issue is the 
possibility to have more than one source component in a single 
instrument file.

Best regards
