Description

Calculates detector asymmetries and phases from a reference dataset. The algorithm fits each of the spectra in the input workspace to:

f_i(t) = A_i \cos\left(\omega t - \phi_i\right)

where \omega is shared across spectra and A_i and \phi_i are detector-dependent.

Before the spectra are fitted, \omega is determined by grouping the detectors, calculating the asymmetry and fitting this to get the frequency. This value of \omega is then treated as a fixed constant when fitting the spectra to the function above.

The algorithm outputs a table workspace containing the spectrum number, the asymmetry and the phase. This table is intended to be used as the input PhaseTable to PhaseQuad. Usually for muon instruments, each spectrum will correspond to one detector (spectrum number = detector ID).If a spectrum is empty (i.e. the detector is dead) then the phase and asymmetry are recorded as zero and 999 respectively.

In addition, the fitting results are returned in a workspace group, where each of the items stores the original data (after removing the exponential decay), the data simulated with the fitting function and the difference between data and fit as spectra 0, 1 and 2 respectively.

There are five optional input properties: FirstGoodData and LastGoodData define the fitting range. When left blank, FirstGoodData is set to the value stored in the input workspace and LastGoodData is set to the last available bin. The optional property Frequency allows the user to select an initial value for \omega (a starting value for the fit). If this property is not supplied, the algorithm takes this value from the sample_magn_field log multiplied by 2\pi\cdot g_\mu, where g_\mu is the muon gyromagnetic ratio (0.01355 MHz/G). Finally, the optional properties ForwardSpectra and BackwardSpectra are the sets of spectra in the forward and backward groups. If these are not supplied, the algorithm will find the instrument from the input workspace and use the default grouping for this instrument.

Usage

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 - CalMuonDetectorPhases

# Load four spectra from a muon nexus file
ws = Load(Filename='MUSR00022725.nxs', SpectrumMin=1, SpectrumMax=4)
# Calibrate the phases and amplitudes
detectorTable, fittingResults = CalMuonDetectorPhases(InputWorkspace='ws', LastGoodData=4, ForwardSpectra="1,2", BackwardSpectra="3,4")

# Print the result
for i in range(0,4):
  print("Detector {} has phase {:.6f} and amplitude {:.6f}".format(detectorTable.cell(i,0), detectorTable.cell(i,2), detectorTable.cell(i,1)))

Output:

Detector 1 has phase 0.950498 and amplitude 0.133113
Detector 2 has phase 1.171793 and amplitude 0.134679
Detector 3 has phase 1.356717 and amplitude 0.149431
Detector 4 has phase 1.484481 and amplitude 0.152870

Example - CalMuonDetectorPhases with dead detector

import numpy as np
import random

def isItDead(phase,amplitude):
   if phase == 0.0 and amplitude == 999.0:
       return True
   else:
       return False


# create data
x=np.linspace(start=0,stop=20,num=4000)

xData = np.append(x,x)
xData = np.append(xData,xData)

#make y data
def genYData(x,phi):
    return np.sin(5.0*x+phi)

yData = np.append(genYData(x, 0.0), genYData(x, 1.2))
yData = np.append(yData, np.zeros(len(x))) # dead detector
yData = np.append(yData, genYData(x, 3.4))

# create workspace
ws = CreateWorkspace(xData,yData,NSpec=4, UnitX="Time")
label=ws.getAxis(0).setUnit("Label")
label.setLabel("Time","microsecond")

detectorTable, fittingResults =   CalMuonDetectorPhases(InputWorkspace='ws',FirstGoodData=0.1, LastGoodData=20,ForwardSpectra="1,2", BackwardSpectra="3,4",Frequency=5.0)
# Print the result
for i in range(0,4):
    if isItDead(detectorTable.cell(i,2), detectorTable.cell(i,1)):
        print("Detector {} is dead".format(detectorTable.cell(i,0)))
    else:
        print("Detector {} is working".format(detectorTable.cell(i,0)))

Output:

Detector 1 is working
Detector 2 is working
Detector 3 is dead
Detector 4 is working
