Description
A sample model for pump probe experiments which models disordered molecules in a volume (rectangular, cylindrical, or spherical). Molecules can be in one of two states (0 and 1). Scattering is either specified through F vs. q scattering curves or as a set of atom positions from which F vs. q is computed. At t=-delta_t, a fraction of the molecules are put in state 1, from which they decay exponentially, with time constant t_relax, into state 0. For t<-delta_t all of the molecules are in the state specified by initial_state. To improve statistics, scattering may be limited to a "forward" cone with opening angle in [psimin, psimax]. Furthermore, scattering may be restricted to the azimuthal segment between [etamin,etamax].
Input parameters
Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.| Name | Unit | Description | Default |
| form_factors | ( ) File from which to read atomic form factors. Defualt amounts to use the one shipped with McXtrace. | "FormFactors.txt" | |
| state_0_file | ( ) Isotropic scattering factors (parameterized by q), or atom positions are specified for state 0. | NULL | |
| state_1_file | ( ) Isotropic scattering factors (parameterized by q), or atom positions are specified for state 1. | NULL | |
| nq | ( ) Number of q-bins if F is to be computed from atom positions (Debye formalism). | 512 | |
| material_datafile | ( ) Where to read f1 and f2 factors from in order to handle absorption. | "Be.txt" | |
| delta_t | (s) Delay between the exciting event t=0. delay is negative, i.e. delta_t>0 means the exciting event happens before t=0. | 100e-9 | |

| psimin | (rad) Minimum scattering angle off the optical axis. | 0 | |
| psimax | (rad) Maximum scattering angle off the optical axis. | M_PI_2 | |
| etamin | (rad) Minimum scattering angle around the optical axis. | -M_PI | |
| etamax | (rad) Maximum scattering angle around the optical axis. | M_PI | |
| radius | (m) Radius of cylindrical of spherical sample. | 0 | |
| yheight | (m) Height of rectangular or cylindrical sample. | 0 | |
| xwidth | (m) Width of rectangular sample. | 0 | |
| zdepth | (m) Depth (thickness) of rectangular sample. | 0 | |
| concentration | (m) Concentration or packing factor of sample. | 1 | |
| p_transmit | (m) Fraction of statistics devoted to sample direct (unscattered) beam. | 0.1 | |
| q_parametric | ( ) 0: Assume that datafiles contains atom positions. 1: datafiles contains F vs. q data. | 0 | |
