The Test_Detector_pn Instrument

Unit test for Detector_pn

Identification

• Site: Tests
• Author: Erik B Knudsen

Description

A simple unit test instrument for the Detector_pn component. It consists merely of
two sets of monitor each with:
1 regular PSD_monitor and 2 instances of Detector_pn with a scinitillator screen of
Si and Pb respectively. Obviously, no sane person would use Pb, but it's there for
illustration purposes.
A restore_flag parameter may be passed to Detector_pn which negates the absorption
effect for subsequent components.

Examples

(Test cases in bold)

• Test: Test_Detector_pn restore_flag=1 Detector: detap2_I=1.02182e-06

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.

Name	Unit	Description	Default
restore_flag		Should the monitor/detector instances restore the x-ray to its pre-detector state	0
E0	keV	The central simulation energy to use. A 1% BW will be added.	12.4
DE	keV	Half energy width of the simulation energy.	0.124
