The Source_flux_lambda Component

Neutron source with flat wavelength spectrum and user-specified flux.

Identification

Description

The routine is a circular neutron source, which aims at a square target
centered at the beam (in order to improve MC-acceptance rate).  The angular
divergence is then given by the dimensions of the target. The neutron
wavelength is uniformly distributed between lambda_0 - d_lambda and
lambda_0 + d_lambda. The source flux is specified in neutrons per steradian
per square cm per AAngstroem.

Example: Source_flux_lambda(radius=0.1, dist=2, xw=.1, yh=.1, 
          lambda_0=2.36, d_lambda=.3, flux=1e13)
