The Source_genesis13 Component

Release: McXtrace 1.2 Interface source for importing GENESIS 1.3 generated X-ray pulses into McXtrace

Identification

• Author: Erik B Knudsen
• Origin: Risoe
• Date: Aug. 10th, 2014

Description

This source model reads the dumped radiation field output from GENESIS 1.3 and samples it to be used
in McXtrace.

Example: Source_pt(dist=1,focus_xw=0.1,focus_yh=0.1, lamda=0.231, dlambda=0.002)

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
