Package: mcstas (3.5+0.0~git20240801183257.cdaa431+ds5-2)

Neutron ray-trace simulation

McStas is a tool for carrying out Monte Carlo ray-tracing simulations of neutron scattering instruments with high complexity and precision. The simulations can compute all aspects of the performance of instruments and can thus be used to optimize the use of existing equipment, design new instrumentation, and carry out virtual experiments for e.g. training, experimental planning or data analysis.

McStas is based on a unique design where an automatic compilation process translates high-level textual instrument descriptions into efficient ISO-C code.

This package contains the McStas engine itself.
