Calculates absorption corrections for a cylindrical or annular sample giving output in the Paalman & Pings absorption factors: (correction factor for scattering and absorption in sample), (scattering in sample and absorption in sample and container), (scattering in container and absorption in sample and container) and (scattering and absorption in container).
The input workspace must have a fully defined instrument that has X axis units of wavelength.
Example:
# Create a sample workspace
sample = CreateSampleWorkspace(NumBanks=1, BankPixelWidth=1,
XUnit='Wavelength',
XMin=6.8, XMax=7.9,
BinWidth=0.1)
# Copy and scale it to make a can workspace
can = CloneWorkspace(InputWorkspace=sample)
can = Scale(InputWorkspace=can, Factor=1.2)
# Calculate absorption corrections
corr = CylinderPaalmanPingsCorrection(SampleWorkspace=sample,
SampleChemicalFormula='H2-O',
SampleInnerRadius=0.05,
SampleOuterRadius=0.1,
CanWorkspace=can,
CanChemicalFormula='V',
CanOuterRadius=0.15,
BeamHeight=0.1,
BeamWidth=0.1,
StepSize=0.002,
Emode='Indirect',
Efixed=1.845,
Version=1)
print 'Correction workspaces: %s' % (', '.join(corr.getNames()))
Output:
Correction workspaces: corr_ass, corr_assc, corr_acsc, corr_acc
