[mcstas-users] MCStas usage: simple TOF question

[Diego Ferraro]

Sorry I made a mistake in the frequency (I was considering period instead of frequency). I include the updated figure in the attachment (in log scale). 
Nevertheless I cannot figure out the results behaviour of the TOF monitor for this configuration. 
Thanks again, 
Diego

Dear All, 
    I'm new in McStas modelling and I'm having some problems understanding the results from Code. I'm using the 2.4.1 version to model a simple TOF example using a reactor beam as source (thermal) and a disk chopper. My model (se attached .png) consist of Maxwelian source (using Source_gen), a non-reflecting beam (using guide with m=0), a Chopper (using DiskChopper) another ~5m beam after the chopper and finally, a collimator and an MCA in time mode (modeled using a TOF_monitor with 1000 Time channels). 
   I get the results in TOF monitor and several questions arise: 
   1 - The results are per unit time (1/s)  as for the flux ? (i.e. the TOF monitor represents the acumulated counts in 1s with efficiency =1) ?
   2 - I should expect that the transmision of the Chopper would change with its velocity, but I found no dependency in TOF monitor (see attached Figure). 
  Obviously I am missing something, but I cannot figure which is the problem.  
  Thanks in advance for any help,  
  Diego Ferraro
