The Ring_c Component

Date: Feb. 2017 Version: 1.1 Release: McXtrace 1.2 Origin: DTU Physics, DTU Space Stack of conical shells as part of a Wolter optic.

Identification

Description

A stack of conical shells is simulated.
To intersect the Wolter I plates we take advatage of the azimuthal symmetry and only consider the radial component
of the photon's wavevector.

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
NameUnitDescriptionDefault
ring_nr1Ring number; selects the data block read from size_file
radius_mmRing radius of the upper (reflecting) plate of the shell at the optic centre.
Z0mDistance between optics centre plane and focal spot (essentially focal length).
xwidthmCurrently not used by the component
yheightmHeight of the shell.
gapmGap between the plate and the intersection plane with the hyperbolic section. (currently ignored)0
chamferwidthmWidth of side walls.0
lengthmLength along the optical axis0
mirror_reflec Data file containing reflectivities of the reflector surface (TOP).""
bottom_reflec Data file containing reflectivities of the bottom surface (BOTTOM).""
R_d Default reflectivity value to use if no reflectivity file is given. Useful f.i. is one surface is reflecting and the others absorbing.1
primary If non-zero, the shell is considered a primary reflector, and extends towards negative z. I.e. the entry plane is behind the z=0-plane. If zero, the shell is considered secondary and extends from the z=0-plane and towards positive z.1
dalphadegOffset to the alpha angle computed from the focal length. Useful for targeting the modified conical geometry (currently ignored).0
wavinessradWaviness of the shell reflecting surface. The slope error is assumed to be uniformly distributed in the interval [-waviness:waviness].0
longw If non-zero, waviness is 1D and along the shell axis.0
AT ( , , ) RELATIVE
ROTATED ( , , ) RELATIVE
