Description

Monte Carlo (MC) simulations are widely used in the design of neutron-scattering instruments. Several simulation packages have been developed in the past few years. We present here an analysis of the use of MC simulation techniques in neutron-scattering instrumentation. We also present IDEAS, an easy-to-use and easy-to-expand MC simulation package that has proven to be a versatile tool for the design of neutron-scattering instruments. (orig.)
