Description

2D detector for intensity as a function of both horizontal divergence
and Energy.

Example: DivE_monitor(nE=20, nh=20, filename="Output.div",
xmin=-0.1, xmax=0.1, ymin=-0.1, ymax=0.1,
maxdiv_h=2, Emin=2, Emax=10)

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.

Name	Unit	Description	Default
nE		Number of bins in energy (1)	20
nh		Number of bins in divergence (1)	20
filename		Name of file in which to store the detector image (string)	0
xmin		Lower x bound of detector opening (m)	-0.05
xmax		Upper x bound of detector opening (m)	0.05
ymin		Lower y bound of detector opening (m)	-0.05
ymax		Upper y bound of detector opening (m)	0.05
xwidth		Width of detector. Overrides xmin,xmax. (m)	0
yheight		Height of detector. Overrides ymin,ymax. (m)	0
maxdiv_h		Maximal horizontal divergence detected (degrees)	2
Emin		Minimum energy detected (keV)
Emax		Maximum energy detected (keV)
restore_xray		If set, the monitor does not influence the photon state (1)	0
nx		(1)	0
ny		Vector definition of "forward" direction wrt. divergence, to be used e.g. when the monitor is rotated into the horizontal plane.(1)	0
nz		(1)	1
nowritefile	1	If set, monitor will skip writing to disk.	0

Output parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
