Multilayer_elliptic ComponentReads reflectivity values from a data input file (Ref.dat) for a Si/W multilayer. The multilayer code reflects ray in an ideal geometry, does not include surface imperfections The mirror is positioned such that the long axis of the mirror elliptical surface coincides with z-axis The algorithm: Incoming photon's coordinates and direction (k-vector) are transformed into an elliptical reference frame (elliptical parameters are calculated according to the mirror's position and its focusing distances and the incident angle), the intersection point is then defined. A new, reflected photon is then starting at the point of intersection. Example: Multilayer_elliptic( coating = "Ref_W_B4C.txt", theta = 1.2, s1 = 1, s2 = 2, length = 0.1, width = 0.1, R0 = 1, Emin=7, Emax=10, Estep=0.05)
