Component Manual for the Xray-Tracing Package McXtrace, version 3.8.6

10.4  The Union_stop McXtrace Component

Stop component that must be placed after all Union components for instrument to compile correctly

Identification

Description

Part of the Union components, a set of components that work together and thus separates geometry and physics within McXtrace. The use of this component requires other components to be used.

1) One specifies a number of processes using process components 2) These are gathered into material definitions using Union_make_material 3) Geometries are placed using Union_box/cylinder/sphere, assigned a material 4) A Union_master component placed after all of the above

Only in step 4 will any simulation happen, and per default all geometries defined before this master, but after the previous will be simulated here.

There is a dedicated manual available for the Union components
