The Capillary Component

A capillary tube

Identification

Description

A Capillary tube allowing for reflections along the tube. A material coating can be applied. Multilayer
coatings may be handled by generating a reflectivity file (e.g. by IMD) and setting rtable=1.
Waviness is implemented using the model described in
Wang et.al., J. Appl. Phys., 1996
where the grazing incidence angle $\theta$ is altered as
$\theta' = \theta + \delta \theta \in [-min(theta,\Delta\theta,\Delta\theta]$
This ensures that reflected rays will never be scattered into the capillary.
\Delta\theta is the value specified by the parameter waviness.

Example: Capillary(
radius=1e-4,length=0.1, R0=0, coating="Rh.txt")
