Date: 2021-03-10

The video is a recording of a presentation by Mads Bertelsen given for an MLZ/TUM audience on March 3rd 2021. Host of the event was Peter Link, MLZ.

Abstract:
The McStas Union components is a set of components that are used in together to describe complex parts of neutron instruments where multiple scattering can be an important aspect. The user will describe scattering properties in a modular fashion to describe materials. Complex geometry can be described, allowing hollow regions, windows and similar with full multiple scattering, which is especially useful for simulating sample environments. The talk will have a focus on the practical use of these components, teaching the basic concepts, as well as showcasing what can be achieved.
