Created page with "We will now excercise the rule of weight transformations, as shown in the weight master equation,..."

New page

We will now excercise the rule of weight transformations, as shown in the [[Monte Carlo simulation of neutron instrumentation#label-eq:weight_master|weight master equation]], \(f_{\rm MC} w_j = P\), from the [[Monte Carlo simulation of neutron instrumentation]] page. First, consider a thin sample of an incoherent scatterer, area \(A\), thickness \(t\) with \(d\Sigma / d\Omega = \rho \sigma_\text{inc} / (4 \pi)\), where \(\rho\) is the number density per unit volume and \(d \Sigma / d \Omega\) is the differential scattering cross section per unit volume.

=====Question 1=====
Show from the [[Basics of neutron scattering#label-eq:dscs|equation for the differential scattering cross section]] on the [[Basics of neutron scattering]] page, that the scattering probability for a given neutron ray is \(P=\sigma_\text{inc} \rho t\). Calculate the value for V, which has \(\rho^{-1} = 13.77\) Å\(^{-3}\).

=====Question 2=====
In a simulation, we choose to focus the neutron rays into an area of \(\Delta \Omega\) in the following way: (a) pick a random direction inside \(\Delta \Omega\), (b) scatter all incident neutrons. Argue that the weight factor adjustment should be \(w = \rho \sigma_\text{inc} t \Delta \Omega / (4 \pi)\).

=====Question 3=====
For a general sample, the cross section per unit volume reads \((d \Sigma / d \Omega) ({\bf q})\). Argue that the weight factor adjustment will be \(w = (d\Sigma / d\Omega) ({\bf q}) t \Delta \Omega / (4 \pi)\), also if the cross section varies with \({\bf q}\) across \(\Delta \Omega\).
