The Source_gaussian Component
Gaussian cross-section source
Identification
- Site:
- Author: Jana Baltser & Erik Knudsen
- Origin: NBI
- Date: April, 2011.
Description
A simple source model emitting photons from a gaussian distribution in the X-Y plane with the specified standard deviations and divergence. A square target centered on the beam (Z-axis) may be used to restrict the beam to that aperture. If no target aperture is given the full gaussian cross-section is used. Further, the beam is restricted to emit photons between E0+-dE keV, or lambda0+-dlambda, whichever is given, if a spectrum_file is not specified, in which case the contents of the file dictates the emitted spectrum. Example: Source_gaussian(sig_x=10e-6,sig_y=10e-6,dist=15,sigPr_x=9e-6, sigPr_y=9e-6,E0=12.5, dE=0.1)
