The Source_flux Component

An old variant of the official Source_flux_lambda component.

Identification

Description

Models a reactor source with a flat energy distribution and a 
given neutron flux. 
This is useful for simulations where the absolute value of neutron flux,
detector counts, etc. is needed for comparison with real instruments and
experiments. 

Example: Source_flat(radius=0.1, dist=2, xw=.1, yh=.1, E0=14, dE=2, flux=1e13)

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
Name Unit Description Default
radius m Radius of circle in (x,y,0) plane where neutrons are generated. 0.1
dist m Distance to target along z axis. 2.33
xw m Width(x) of target 0.05
yh m Height(y) of target 0.1
E0 meV Mean energy of neutrons. 14.68
dE meV Energy spread of neutrons. 2
flux n/s/cm^2/Angs Neutron flux 1e13

Output parameters
