Propagator

class marxs.simulator.Propagator(**kwargs)

Bases: SimulationSequenceElement

Move photons along the rays.

This element moves all photons in the photon list by a specified amount forwards or backwards along the ray. Normally, photons only move forward in the simulation, but sometimes it can be useful to reset the photons to an earlier position, e.g. to see how the pattern on a detector changes for different detector positions.

Parameters:

distancefloat

Distance for the photons to move. Negative values move photons backwards.
