Description

Instrument to study tomographic imaging by means of the feature of OFF shape samples.

Example: mcrun Tomography.instr offfile=bunny.off -n1e4 -N18 omega=0,340 -d TomoScan
(Note that to achieve proper statistics for tomographic reconstruction, MUCH higher ncounts
are needed)

Use the provided Matlab tomo_recon.m function (requires imaging toolbox, PGPLOT output data
and a Unix/Mac) in the tools/matlab folder to reconstruct a 3D volume of the object. Use e.g.
isosurface to do thresholding for extraction of the object surface.

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.

frac_scatt	1	Fraction of neutrons to scatter in the sample	0
div_v	deg	Source vertical divergence (angular height)	1e-4
div_h	deg	Source horisontal divergence (angular width)	1e-4
source_w	m	Source width	0.4
