Algorithm creates a workspace with detector sensitivity correction coefficients using the given Vanadium workspace. The correction coefficients are calculated as follows.
Load the peak centre and sigma from the EPPTable. These values are used to calculate sum as
where is the peak centre position and
is the corresponding to
value for i-th detector.
(If EnableDWF is true) Calculate the Debye-Waller factor according to [1]:
where if
, otherwise
where is the ratio of the temperature during the experiment
to the Debye temperature
,
is the Vanadium atomic mass (in kg) and
is the polar angle of the i-th detector. By default, the temperature is read from the sample logs. The log entry can be given as the ‘temperature_sample_log’ in the IPF, otherwise ‘temperature’ entry is used. If the log is missing, or incorrect, the Temperature input property can be used instead.
Warning
If no temperature is available, or is set to an invalid value, = 293K will be taken for the Debye-Waller factor calculation. The algorithm will log a warning in this case.
(If EnableDWF is true) Finally, the correction coefficients are calculated as
Workspace containing these correction coefficients is created as an output and can be used as a RHS workspace in Divide v1 to apply correction to the LHS workspace.
The valid input workspace:
Restrictions for EPPTable:
Note
The input EPPTable can be produced using the FindEPP v2 algorithm.
Note
To run these usage examples please first download the usage data, and add these to your path. In MantidPlot this is done using Manage User Directories.
Example
# load Vanadium data
wsVana = LoadMLZ(Filename='TOFTOFTestdata.nxs')
# find elastic peak positions
epptable = FindEPP(wsVana)
# calculate correction coefficients
wsCoefs = ComputeCalibrationCoefVan(wsVana, epptable)
print('Spectrum 4 of the output workspace is filled with: {}'.format(round(wsCoefs.readY(999)[0])))
# wsCoefs can be used as rhs with Divide algorithm to apply correction to the data
wsCorr = wsVana/wsCoefs
print('Spectrum 4 of the input workspace is filled with: {}'.format(round(wsVana.readY(999)[0], 1)))
print('Spectrum 4 of the corrected workspace is filled with: {}'.format(round(wsCorr.readY(999)[0], 5)))
Output:
Spectrum 4 of the output workspace is filled with: 6895.0
Spectrum 4 of the input workspace is filled with: 1.0
Spectrum 4 of the corrected workspace is filled with: 0.00015
