Hello again,

That indeed does not seem right. I will look into the details while working on the other part of the issue.

Best,
Peter

Dear Peter,

Wrt. the scat_factor, since thickness is an optional parameter (default=0, parametrises an optional "inner hollow”) I believe the formula is OK.
Thanks, but there is a line in line 176:
    p *= l_full/scat_factor;      /* Scattering probability */
where l_full is "Length of full path through sample."

It seems to me that p is defined as the ratio of length of full path through sample to total size of sample. However, if scat_factor is as it is, p can be larger than unity.

Best regards,

Ryoichi

Dear Ryochi,
Once I have the edits in place and a running instrument I will send the modified component to this mailinglist thread.

Dear Peter,
Thank you for the prompt response. I hope this issue will be solved soon.
I have another question regarding TOFRes_sample.
On line 169 of TOFRes_sample.comp, there is a code:
     scat_factor = 2*(radius-thickness);
But is this correct? I think scat_factor should be 2*radius.
Best regards,
Ryoichi

Dear Ryoichi Kajimoto,
Thank you for reporting this issue, you are completely right in pointing out that needed modifications are missing in the McStas 3.4 version of TOFRes_sample.
(This has gone unnoticed since a test-instrument for the said component was not defined in our test suite, sorry for this.)
I have defined a GitHub issue at https://github.com/McStasMcXtrace/McCode/issues/1512 and will implement the needed changes as soon as time allows.
Best,
Peter Willendrup

Hi,
I'm simulating a resolution function of a direct-geometry TOF spectrometer. I use TOFRes_sample() for the sample and Res_monitor() for the monitor.
My code worked with McStas 3.1, but it cannot be compiled with McStas 3.4.
I would appreciate if you could provide any solution.
Converting the .instr file to .c with mcstas command worked fine without an error, but compiling it with gcc -O3 -lm stops with an error message attached below.
I found that Res_monitor.comp and Res_sample.comp were greatly updated in McStas 3.4 but TOFRes_sample.comp was unchanged. I suspect that TOFRes_sample.comp is not compatible with Res_monitor.comp...
Thank you in advance,
Ryoichi Kajimoto
