The project is conducted at Risoe National Laboratory -in cooperation with the ILL. The Risoe efforts have been funded through -multiple EU programs. - -McStas is based on a compiler that reads a high-level specification language -defining the instrument to be simulated and produces C code that performs the -Monte Carlo Simulation. The system is very fast in use, both when setting up -the instrument definition and when doing calculations. -Typical figures are 20000-50000 neutron histories per second on a fast PC. - -McStas supports triple-axis, time-of-flight instruments, and polarised -neutrons. It comes with a comprehensive manual and a library of well-tested -components that include most standard elements of neutron scattering -instruments, including steady-state and pulsed sources, -monochromators/analysers, guides, collimators, vanadium and powder samples, -velocity selectors and choppers, and a variety of detectors. - -WWW: http://www.mcstas.org/ |
