Description

This algorithm extends the TOFSANSResolution to implement the experimentally determined TOF resolution for EQSANS.

The Q resolution for a TOF SANS has two components: a geometrical contribution and a contributions from the resolution in TOF.

The TOF resolution for EQSANS was measured to be:

\Delta T = y_0 + A ( f/(1+\exp((\lambda-x^0_1)/k_1)) + (1-f)/(1+\exp((\lambda-x^0_2)/k_2)) )

where \lambda is the wavelength and

y_0 = -388

A = 3838

f = 0.04398

x^0_1 = 3.392

x^0_2 = 134.3

k_1 = -0.5587

k_2 = -65.46

This algorithm is generally not called directly. It’s called by EQSANSAzimuthalAverage1D after the calculation of I(Q). It can only be applied to an I(Q) workspace.
