| Name | Direction | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| InputWorkspace | Input | MatrixWorkspace | Mandatory | Raw diffraction data workspace for associated correction to be calculated for. Workspace must have instument and sample data. |
| IncidentSpecta | Input | MatrixWorkspace | Mandatory | Workspace of fitted incident spectrum with it’s first derivative. |
| OutputWorkspace | Output | MatrixWorkspace | Mandatory | Workspace with the Self scattering correction |
This algorithm takes an incident spectrum function and it’s derivative, along with the workspace containing spectrum info and calculates the time-of-flight Placzek scattering correction from the workspaces material sample and detector info. [1] [2] [3] For obtaining the incident spectrum from a measurement (ie beam monitors or calibrant sample), the :ref:FitIncidentSpectrum <algm-FitIncidentSpectrum> can provide the necessary inputs.
Example: calculate Placzek self scattering correction using a sample detector setup [4]
