This algorithm is a port to C++ of a multiple scattering absorption correction, used to correct the vanadium spectrum for the GPPD instrument at the IPNS. The correction calculation was originally worked out by Jack Carpenter and Asfia Huq and implemented in Java by Alok Chatterjee. The java code was translated to C++ in Mantid by Dennis Mikkelson.
In [1] we see that the calculation of the attenuation factor F involves
an integral over the sample cylinder. By expanding the integrands as a power series,
we can factor out any dependence on scattering cross section and radius.
These integral terms are denoted by and so we may write:
where is the inverse scattering length.
The functions are written in terms of Chebyshev
expansion coefficients:
where the Chebyshev coefficients up to m + n
5 have been tabulated and are stored as an array by the algorithm.
This version of the correction follows the implementation in [1] in that it only calculates for the correction in-plane, unlike [2], [3] that generalizes the correction to out-of-plane.
This algorithm calculates and outputs the absorption and/or multiple scattering correction workspaces to be applied to the InputWorkspace. Thus, there are, at most, two workspaces in the OutputWorkspaceBaseName group workspace. This allows for flexibility of applying either correction to a workspace without having to apply both (as is the case with CarpenterSampleCorrection v1). For the case where both corrections are calculated, the output will be the following:
This is the child algorithm that CarpenterSampleCorrection v1 (previously known as MultipleScatteringCylinderAbsorption) uses to calculate and apply the correction to a sample workspace.
Example: Calculate corrections for a simple cylindrical sample
ws = CreateSampleWorkspace("Histogram",NumBanks=1,BankPixelWidth=1)
ws = ConvertUnits(ws,"Wavelength")
ws = Rebin(ws,Params=[1])
SetSampleMaterial(ws,ChemicalFormula="V")
#restrict the number of wavelength points to speed up the example
wsOut = CalculateCarpenterSampleCorrection(ws,CylinderSampleRadius=0.2)
print("Absorption Correction Output: {}".format(wsOut.getItem(0).readY(0)))
print("Multiply Scattering Correction Output: {}".format(wsOut.getItem(1).readY(0)))
Output:
Absorption Correction Output: [ 0.85283805 0.79620318 0.74348494 0.69440412 0.64870017 0.62121997]

To reproduce what CarpenterSampleCorrection v1 does, you can calculate and apply the correction as follows
Example: Apply correction for a simple cylindrical sample using getItem
ws = CreateSampleWorkspace("Histogram",NumBanks=1,BankPixelWidth=1)
ws = ConvertUnits(ws,"Wavelength")
ws = Rebin(ws,Params=[1])
SetSampleMaterial(ws,ChemicalFormula="V")
corrections = CalculateCarpenterSampleCorrection(ws,CylinderSampleRadius=0.2)
# Get absorption correction
absCorr = corrections.getItem(0)
# Get multiple scattering correction
msFactor = corrections.getItem(1)
msCorr = Multiply(ws, msFactor)
# Apply absorption correction to workspace
ws_abs_corrected = Divide(ws, absCorr)
# Apply multiple scattering correction to workspace
ws_ms_corrected = Minus(ws, msCorr)
# Apply both corrections
wsOut = Minus(ws_abs_corrected, msCorr)
print("Absorption Corrected Output: {}".format(ws_abs_corrected.readY(0)))
print("Multiple Scattering Corrected Output: {}".format(ws_ms_corrected.readY(0)))
print("Combined Corrected Output: {}".format(wsOut.readY(0)))
