Description

Calculates and applies corrections for scattering abs absorption in a annular sample for a run on an indirect inelastic instrument, optionally allowing for the subtraction or corrections of the container. Uses MonteCarloAbsorption to calculate the corrections.

The correction factor workspace is a workspace group containing the correction factors in the Paalman and Pings format, note that only {A_{s,s}} and A_{c,c} factors are calculated by this algorithm.

Usage

Example - Sample corrections for IRIS:

red_ws = LoadNexusProcessed(Filename='irs26176_graphite002_red.nxs')
can_ws = LoadNexusProcessed(Filename='irs26173_graphite002_red.nxs')

corrected, fact = IndirectAnnulusAbsorption(SampleWorkspace=red_ws,
                                            SampleChemicalFormula='H2-O',
                                            CanWorkspace=can_ws,
                                            CanScaleFactor=0.8,
                                            CanInnerRadius=0.19,
                                            SampleInnerRadius=0.2,
                                            SampleOuterRadius=0.25,
                                            CanOuterRadius=0.26,
                                            Events=100)

ass = fact[0]

print ('Corrected workspace is intensity against %s'
      % (corrected.getAxis(0).getUnit().caption()))

print ('Ass workspace is %s against %s'
      % (ass.YUnitLabel(), ass.getAxis(0).getUnit().caption()))

Output:

Corrected workspace is intensity against Energy transfer
Ass workspace is Attenuation factor against Wavelength
