7.1 The Absorption_sample McXtrace Component
Sample component with absorbing materials.
Identification
-
Author: Erik B Knudsen
-
Origin: Risoe
-
Date: March 2011
Description
A sample component consisting of a volume of one material and volume of another material inside. This is useful as a phantom for simulating tomography experiments. The inner material can be left unset (all 0), to only have one volume.
Sample shape may be a cylinder, a sphere, a box or any other shape
box/plate: xwidth x yheight x zdepth cylinder: radius x yheight sphere: radius (yheight=0) any shape: geometry=OFF/PLY file
Example: Absorption_sample( material_datafile_o=”Mn.txt”, xwidth_o = 0.5, yheight_o = 0.5, zdepth_o = 0.0001, rho_o=7.15 )
Input parameters
Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
