ESS_moderator_long
ComponentProduces a time-of-flight spectrum, from the ESS parameters Chooses evenly in lambda, evenly/exponentially decaying in time Adapted from Moderator by: KN, M.Hagen, August 1998 Units of flux: n/cm^2/s/AA/ster (McStas units are in general neutrons/second) Example general parameters (general): size=0.12 l_low=0.1 l_high=10 dist=1.6 xw=0.19 yh=0.15 freq=16.67 branchframe=0.5 Example moderator specific parameters (From F. Mezei, "ESS reference moderator characteristics for ...", 4/12/00: Defining the normalised Maxwellian M(lam,T) = 2 a^2 lam^-5 exp(-a/lam^2); a=949/T; lam in AA; T in K, the "pulse integral" function iexp(t,tau,d) = 0 ; t<0 tau (1-exp(-t/tau)) ; 0d , and the long pulse shape function I(t,tau,n,d) = (iexp(t,tau,d)-iexp(t,tau/n,d)) n/(n-1)/tau/d , the flux distribution is given as Phi(t,lam) = I0 M(lam,T) F(t,tau,n) + I2/(1+exp(chi2 lam-2.2))/lam*F(t,tau2*lam,n2) ) c1: Ambient H20, long pulse, coupled T=325 tau=80e-6 tau1=400e-6 tau2=12e-6 n=20 n2=5 d=2e-3 chi2=2.5 I0=13.5e11 I2=27.6e10 branch1=0.5 branch2=0.5 c2: Liquid H2, long pulse, coupled T=50 tau=287e-6 tau1=0 tau2=20e-6 n=20 n2=5 d=2e-3 chi2=0.9 I0=6.9e11 I2=27.6e10 branch1=0 branch2=0.5 Debugged intensively against Mezei note (4/12 2000) and VitESS @ Rencurel 2006. The output is now neutrons / second, not as previously neutrons / pulse. %VALIDATION Validated against VitESS and Mezei note (4/12 2000) @ Rencurel 2006
