MiniMC geometry cfg-strings

Four MiniMC simulation geometries are currently available, all representing a single convex volume centered around the origin and axis aligned where appropriate.

Specific geometries available

The available geometries are:

• "sphere":

  A spherical volume centered at (0,0,0).

  Parameters:

  • r (default 0.01) : sphere radius [m].

• "box":

  An axis-aligned box with corners at (+-dx,+-dy,+-dz).

  Parameters:

  • dx (default 0.01) : half-width [m].
  • dy (default 0.01) : half-height [m].
  • dz (default 0.01) : half-depth [m].

• "slab":

  An unbounded slab bound by planes through (0,0,+-dz) and normals (0,0,1). This is essentially a box with dx=dy=infinity.

  Parameters:

  • dz (default 0.01) : half-depth [m].

• "cyl":

  A cylinder around the y-axis. If dy!=0 the cylinder has finite length, with ends at y=+-dy.

  Parameters:

  • r (default 0.01) : cylinder radius radius [m].
  • dy (default 0) : Half-length of cylinder (0 means infinitely long) [m].
