McXtrace: Lens_parab

[ Identification | Description | Input parameters | Links ]

The Lens_parab Component

X-ray compound refractive lens (CRL) with a profile of the parabola

Identification

  • Author: Jana Baltser and Erik Knudsen
  • Origin: NBI
  • Date: August 2010, modified July 2011

Description

A simple X-ray compound refractive lens (CRL) with a profile of the parabola in rotation simulates the photons' movement on passing through it. The CRL focuses in 2D

Example: Lens_parab(material_datafile = "Be.txt", r=200e-6, r_ap=0.5e-3, d=50e-6, N=16)

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
