5.3.5. Gaussian source (x, y, z independent)

The Gaussian distribution consists of independent Gaussian distributions in the x, y, and z directions. The parameters for the Gaussian source are shown below. The order of parameters is free. Parameters with (D=***) are optional.

value

explanation

mono-energy source

Give the source energy [MeV/n] directly by e0.

energy spectrum

Specify the source energy distribution by e-type.
