<div class="">Changes in McStas v.2.6, January 24th, 2020</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""> McStas 2.6 is the eight release in the 2.x series and fixes various issues with McStas 2.5, plus </div>
<div class=""> new developments. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""> Thanks:</div>
<div class=""> - Thanks to all contributors of components, instruments etc.! This is what Open Source</div>
<div class=""> and McStas is all about!</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""> Installation:</div>
<div class=""> - Our install docs are now available on the McCode GitHub page at</div>
<div class=""> <a href="https://github.com/McStasMcXtrace/McCode/tree/master/INSTALL-McStas" class="">https://github.com/McStasMcXtrace/McCode/tree/master/INSTALL-McStas</a></div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class=""> Fixes of issues from last release:</div>
<div class=""> - A number of issues from 2.5 were corrected, see the relevant GitHub issues for details:</div>
<div class=""> - <a href="https://github.com/McStasMcXtrace/McCode/issues?utf8=✓&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed+label%3A%22McStas+2.5%22+" class="">
https://github.com/McStasMcXtrace/McCode/issues?utf8=✓&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed+label%3A%22McStas+2.5%22+</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""> Plus lots of work in general:</div>
<div class=""> <a href="https://github.com/McStasMcXtrace/McCode/issues?page=1&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed++project%3AMcStasMcXtrace%2FMcCode%2F5&utf8=✓" class="">https://github.com/McStasMcXtrace/McCode/issues?page=1&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed++project%3AMcStasMcXtrace%2FMcCode%2F5&utf8=✓</a></div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class=""> Tools:</div>
<div class=""> - As for the earlier few releases the default set of tools are Python-based and developed by Jakob Garde, DTU. </div>
<div class=""> The Perl ones are still around as a backup solution, handy for those that prefer "the oldschool way"</div>
<div class=""> - See <a href="https://github.com/McStasMcXtrace/McCode/wiki/User-documentation-for-the-2017--Python-tool-set" class="">
https://github.com/McStasMcXtrace/McCode/wiki/User-documentation-for-the-2017--Python-tool-set</a> for usage</div>
<div class=""> - On Unix platforms, the Perl tools are accessible by adding .pl to the wanted tool (mcgui.pl etc.)</div>
<div class=""> - On Windows, the Perl tools are accessible by adding -pl to the wanted tool (mcgui-pl etc.)</div>
<div class=""> - BUT: Please use the Python tools and provide feedback rather than sticking with the Perl! :-)</div>
<div class=""> - Contribution from Tobias Weber ILL: Python-version of mcresplot.</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class=""> Platforms:</div>
<div class=""> - Nothing really new to report here. We still support 64bit Windows 10, all recent 64bit macOS, Debian-based and RPM-based distros</div>
<div class=""> (RPMs are built on/for CentOS, you may get varying milage elsewhere.)</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""> Libraries:</div>
<div class=""> - Updated version 1.0.0 NCrystal library from T. Kittelmann (ESS) and X.X. Cai (CSNS), distributed with McStas on Unix</div>
<div class=""> platforms only. To use it, carry out the below steps:</div>
<div class=""> mcstas:~/NCryst$ mcstas-2.6-environment </div>
<div class=""> mcstas:~/NCryst$ source $MCSTAS/ncrystal/setup.sh</div>
<div class=""> mcstas:~/NCryst$ ncrystal_preparemcstasdir </div>
<div class=""> mcstas:~/NCryst$ cp $MCSTAS/examples/NCrystal_example_mcstas.instr .</div>
<div class=""> mcstas:~/NCryst$ mcrun -c NCrystal_example_mcstas.instr</div>
<div class=""> The NCrystal library from this version of McStas also includes the nice ncrystal_inspectfile python tool that allows</div>
<div class=""> to quickly visualise scattering-kernel data from .ncmat, .nxs, .lau and .laz files. To use that:</div>
<div class=""> mcstas:~/NCryst$ mcstas-2.6-environment </div>
<div class=""> mcstas:~/NCryst$ source $MCSTAS/ncrystal/setup.sh</div>
<div class=""> mcstas:~/NCryst$ ncrystal_inspectfile $NCRYSTALDIR/data/Ca_sg225.ncmat</div>
<div class=""> - MCPL library from the same authors now included at v. 1.3.0. The distributed version of MCPL now includes the </div>
<div class=""> python-based pymcpltool command that can e.g. be used to extract gaussian statistics from MCPL files. McStas now</div>
<div class=""> ships the mcpl2phits and phits2mcpl tools (mcpl2ssw and ssw2mcpl have been included since mcstas-2.3).</div>
<div class=""> - Updated version of the NXS lib from Mirko Boin HZB.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""> Components:</div>
<div class=""> - Updated Union library from Mads Bertelsen, ESS DMSC including:</div>
<div class=""> - New geometries, mesh (for stl file input in Union setups) and cone (e.g. relevant for describing anvils</div>
<div class=""> in pressure cells.</div>
<div class=""> - New AF_HB_1D_process for modelling 1D antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chains and PhononSimple_process for</div>
<div class=""> modelling single-branchg acoustic phonons ala Phonon_simple</div>
<div class=""> - New SINE2020-developed Union physics processes from Victor Laliena, Uni Zaragoza: Texture_process.comp</div>
<div class=""> and IncoherentPhonon_process.comp. See <a href="https://doi.org/10.3233/JNR-190117" class="">
https://doi.org/10.3233/JNR-190117</a>.</div>
<div class=""> - Shieldinglogger-components from Rodion Kolevatov, IFE for estimating gamma-production in guides:</div>
<div class=""> - Contributions Dose_calculator and Shielding_calculator</div>
<div class=""> - Patched versions of optics-components: Elliptic_guide_gravity_shieldinglogger, Guide_channeled_shieldinglogger,</div>
<div class=""> Guide_curved_shieldinglogger, Guide_gravity_shieldinglogger, Guide_shieldinglogger</div>
<div class=""> - Components patched / derived from the "scatterlogger" framework to model Ni and Ti layers seperately: Shielding_log_iterator_Ni_new,</div>
<div class=""> Shielding_log_iterator_Ti_new, Shielding_log_iterator_stop, Shielding_log_iterator_total, Shielding_logger.comp,</div>
<div class=""> Shielding_logger_stop.comp.</div>
<div class=""> - See <a href="https://doi.org/10.3233/JNR-190123" class="">https://doi.org/10.3233/JNR-190123</a>,
<a href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nima.2018.12.069" class="">https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nima.2018.12.069</a> and
<a href="https://doi.org/10.3233/JNR-180088" class="">https://doi.org/10.3233/JNR-180088</a></div>
<div class=""> - Please note that the included Shielding- and Dose- calculators will only give sensible for guides with</div>
<div class=""> borosilicate glass substrate. If the substrate is, e.g. copper, the dose rates from neutrons transmitted </div>
<div class=""> through the coating and captured in the substrate will overshoot the coating contribution significantly, </div>
<div class=""> so that shielding has to be enforced by few tens of centimeters of concrete. </div>
<div class=""> - Guide_anyshape_r additions from Peter Link MLZ. Allows describing geometry in OFF format with reflectivity "per" face.</div>
<div class=""> Test instrument is Test_guides which has been updated to include this modified component.</div>
<div class=""> - Vertical_Bender from Andrew Jackson ESS and Richard Heenan STFC. Allows modelling a multi-channel bender</div>
<div class=""> that curves vertically down.</div>
<div class=""> - SANS_spheres2 by Peter Willendrup, derived from Henrich Frilinghaus' SANS_benchmark2. More realistic cross-section</div>
<div class=""> calculations than from e.g. Sans_spheres. templateSANS2.instr is the related test instrument.</div>
<div class=""> - Updated version of Sample_nxs from Mirko Boin HZB.</div>
<div class=""> - Guide_simple is identical to Guide except from not having OFF library support. Common with forthcoming</div>
<div class=""> McStas 3.0 beta release with GPU support.</div>
<div class=""> - Elliptic_guide_gravity promoted from contrib to optics since Mads Bertelsen is full member of McStas dev team. </div>
<div class=""> - PolAnalyser_ideal and Set_pol moved from misc to optics.</div>
<div class=""> - NPI_tof_theta_monitor is in contrib, was by mistace placed in monitors before. </div>
<div class=""> - Single_magnetic_crystal.comp is an experimental magnetic csingle crystal model. Its operational model is based </div>
<div class=""> on that of Single_crystal.comp but supports SF and NSF magnetic scattering. The present model only supports</div>
<div class=""> the SF-NSF paradigm along a given reference vector. </div>
<div class=""> - PSD_monitor_4PI_spin.comp is a version of PSD_monitor_4PI but with separate SF- and NSF-channels</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class=""> Instruments:</div>
<div class=""> - Union_test_texture.instr demonstrates use of Texture_process.comp by Victor Laliena. To be used with datafile</div>
<div class=""> "coef_Four_L2.txt" found in the installation data-folder. This datafile contains texture information on Zr alloys</div>
<div class=""> derived from the publication <a href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jnucmat.2018.08.003" class="">
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jnucmat.2018.08.003</a>.</div>
<div class=""> - Union_IncoherentPhonon_test.instr demonstrates use of IncoherentPhonon_process.comp by Victor Laliena. To be used</div>
<div class=""> with datafile "dos_meV.txt" found in the installation data-folder.</div>
<div class=""> - Union_test_mesh.instr demonstrates use of mesh geometry in Union</div>
<div class=""> - ESS_BIFROST_shielding.instr and PSI_Focus_shielding.instr, demonstration of Shielding_logger concept from</div>
<div class=""> Rodion Kolevatov</div>

<div class=""> Datafiles:</div>
<div class=""> - Klaus Lieutenant from FZJ/Vitess has collected reflectitivy-data from SwissNeutronics, Mirrotron and S-DH, analysed</div>
<div class=""> these and fitted the "classical" McStas mirror-reflectivity profile to these. The resulting data have been placed</div>
<div class=""> in the data directory under the filenames of</div>
<div class=""> - SwissNeutronics_mirors_2020.txt</div>
<div class=""> - Mirrotron_mirors_2020.txt</div>
<div class=""> - S-DH_mirors_2020.txt.</div>
<div class=""> The files are not to be used directly with reflecting components, but can instead be used as lookup-tables for</div>
<div class=""> relevant parameters in each case. I.e. for a mirror of nominal m-value m_nom, use m_real, R_0, W and alpha from the</div>
<div class=""> relevant table.</div>
<div class=""> - Most other new datafiles are directly related to component- or instrument-additions and have been mentioned above.</div>
