Previous: Prerequisites
The goals and tasks of this paper are
- To teach you about the most basic neutron scattering
- To let you understand some of the typical components in a
neutron scattering instrument
- To teach you basic usage of the McStas neutron simulation
package
- To let you create your first McStas instrument, a triple axis
diffractometer
- To teach you how to modify your instrument for a specific task
- To help you learn to debug instruments
- To help you aquire and analyze data from McStas simulations
