This module simulates spin precessions in the magnetic field of special kind.
The first part of such field is a rotating magnetic field. Amplitude of this field
must be changing by sinus distribution with semi-period, which is equal of the appropriate
dimensions of the rotating field volume. Magnetic field can be rotated around the axises
OX or OY or OZ. The axis OX has the direction of neutron flight. Permanent value of
amplitude can be given also.
The second part of general field is a guide magnetic field.
The spin
precessions are treated classically i.e. this module only rotates the spin
vectors belonging to trajectories which pass through the rectangular geometry.
The random magnetic field can be added also.
No attenuation is considered during the flight.
-----------FIRST-PART-----------ROTATING FIELD----------------------
FORMULAS OF ROTATION: AROUND AXIS 0X
X = X0
Y = Y0 + FieldValue*sin(Omega*(T + TOF) + BeginPhase)
Z = Z0 + FieldValue*cos(Omega*(T + TOF) + BeginPhase)
FORMULAS OF ROTATION: AROUND AXIS 0Y
X = X0 + FieldValue*sin(Omega*(T + TOF) + BeginPhase)
Y = Y0
Z = Z0 + FieldValue*cos(Omega*(T + TOF) + BeginPhase)
FORMULAS OF ROTATION: AROUND AXIS 0Z
X = X0 + FieldValue*cos(Omega*(T + TOF) + BeginPhase)
Y = Y0 + FieldValue*sin(Omega*(T + TOF) + BeginPhase)
Z = Z0
X0, Y0, Z0 - components of guide magnetic field [Oe=Gauss],
Omega = 2*PI*omega/1000, omega = [Hz], Omega = [rad/ms],
FieldValue - Strength (Amplitude) of rotating magnetic field in Oe=Gauss,
BeginPhase in degree
TOF - time of flight of neutron from preceding modules for rotating field
phase.
So, if TOF=0 is used: The magnetic field is directed vertically upwards for rotating
around of the axis 0X, when NEUTRON WAS LEFT THE MODERATOR SURFACE.
Also, if TOF is zero, the rotation of magnetic field and neutron time of
flight are NOT SYNHRONIZED and so unsuatible for Spin Echo simulations!!!
The amplitude FieldValue can have a 3 types of distributions:
1. sinus law (with semi-period - appropriate dimensions of the magnetic field volume)
2. permanent law
3. solinoid formula (not yet active)
-----------SECOND-----PART: GUIDE-MAGNETIC-FIELD---
This part can have a 3 types of distribution too:
1. cosine law : with semi-period - appropriate dimensions of the magnetic field volume
2. linear law : with period - appropriate dimensions of the rotating field volume
3. pernanent law
We have simulated a gradient flipper with such distributions:
rotating magnetic field: sinus law
guide magnetic field: linear law
and have got a good results.
The frequency of rotating and components of guide magnetic
fields can be randomized.
