Calculates the scattering & transmission for Indirect Geometry spectrometers at the elastic peak, as the transmission variation over wavelength is not substantial.
The sample chemical formula is input for the SetSampleMaterial algorithm to calculate the cross-sections. The instrument analyser reflection is selected to obtain the wavelength of the elastic peak to calculate the absorption cross-section. The sample mass density/number density & thickness is input to then calculate the percentage scattering & transmission.
Example - Running IndirectTransmission.
table_ws = IndirectTransmission(Instrument='IRIS', ChemicalFormula="C")
param_names = table_ws.column(0)
param_values = table_ws.column(1)
for pair in zip(param_names, param_values):
print("{} : {:1.10f}".format(pair[0], pair[1]))
Output:
Wavelength : 6.6580023372
Absorption Xsection : 0.0129590747
Coherent Xsection : 5.5510000000
Incoherent Xsection : 0.0010000000
Total scattering Xsection : 5.5520000000
Number density : 0.0050139807
Thickness : 0.1000000000
Transmission (abs+scatt) : 0.9972136294

Example - Running IndirectTransmission with a specified number density and thickness.
table_ws = IndirectTransmission(Instrument='OSIRIS', DensityType='Number Density', Density=0.5, Thickness=0.3, ChemicalFormula="C")
param_names = table_ws.column(0)
param_values = table_ws.column(1)
for pair in zip(param_names, param_values):
print("{} : {:1.10f}".format(pair[0], pair[1]))
Output:
