Description

Calculates and applies corrections for scattering and absorption in a cylindrical sample for a run on an indirect inelastic instrument, optionally allowing for the subtraction or corrections of the container.

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 thsi algorithm.

Example - Sample corrections for IRIS:

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

corrected, fact = IndirectCylinderAbsorption(SampleWorkspace=red_ws,
                                             SampleChemicalFormula='H2-O',
                                             CanWorkspace=can_ws,
                                             CanScaleFactor=0.8,
                                             SampleRadius=0.2,
                                             UseCanCorrections=False,
                                             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

Example - Sample and container corrections for IRIS:

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

corrected, fact = IndirectCylinderAbsorption(SampleWorkspace=red_ws,
                                             SampleChemicalFormula='H2-O',
                                             SampleRadius=0.2,
                                             CanWorkspace=can_ws,
                                             CanScaleFactor=0.8,
                                             CanChemicalFormula='V',
                                             CanRadius=0.22,
                                             UseCanCorrections=True,
                                             Events=100)

ass = fact[0]
acc = fact[1]

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()))

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

Output:

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