ATHENA_1shell InstrumentA model of the ATHENA-telescope using just a single shell as optical element. That means to make use of this instrument it is necessary to run a series of simulation while varying the input parameter shellnumber. The model needs as input a file geomfile, which contains (in ascii) tabled details about the geometry of the shells. The data in the geomfile is assumed to be in the format: #row L/m rad_h/m rad_m/m rad_p/m width/m ... row: running index for the rows/rings L: The length of the plates for this ring rad_h: The radius at the "hyperbolic" end of the optic. At the detector end. rad_m: The radius at the midpoint of the optic. This is the reference. rad_p: The radius at the "parabolic" and of the optic. At the source end. width: pore width ? Example: ATHENA_1shell.instr shellnumber=1
