Errors when trying to run FSSR and von Hamos geometries
Hello Dr. Smid,
I'm a masters student from TU Darmstadt working on a project for the Phelix laser at GSI which requires a FSSR spectrometer. If you have time I'd like to ask a few questions regarding the python package mmpxrt.
I've tested the package for a spectrometer with von Hamos geometry and it works well, except that I consistently receive the output 'too much iterations'. Would you happen to know what is causing this?
On my tries using the FSSR geometry I seem to be getting an infinite loop, as it just outputs the faces with 0/1000. I've tried adjusting all the parameters I can think of to no avail, along with trying to take parameters known to work in practice from another experiment. I suspect the problem lies in the spherical bending of the crystal. Is the code compatible with this type of geometry?
I've attached both the relevant py files.
I'm really at a loss of what to try and would be very grateful for any help.
Best regards, Carlos Butler
