Summary

This algorithm attempts to find all the peaks in all spectra of a workspace and subtract them from the data, leaving just the ‘background’.

Properties

Name Direction Type Default Description
InputWorkspace Input MatrixWorkspace Mandatory The name of the input workspace.
OutputWorkspace Output MatrixWorkspace Mandatory The name to use for the output workspace.
FWHM Input number 7 The number of points covered, on average, by the fwhm of a peak (default 7). Passed through to [[FindPeaks]].
Tolerance Input number 4 A measure of the strictness desired in meeting the condition on peak candidates, Mariscotti recommends 2 (default 4)
PeakPositions Input dbl list   Optional: enter a comma-separated list of the expected X-position of the centre of the peaks. Only peaks near these positions will be fitted.
PeakPositionTolerance Input number 0.01 Tolerance on the found peaks’ positions against the input peak positions. Non-positive value indicates that this option is turned off.
BackgroundType Input string Linear Type of Background. Present choices include ‘Linear’ and ‘Quadratic’. Allowed values: [‘Linear’, ‘Quadratic’]
HighBackground Input boolean True Flag to indicate that the peaks are relatively weak comparing to background.
WorkspaceIndex Input number Optional If set, will remove peaks only in the given spectrum of the workspace. Otherwise, all spectra will be searched.
MaximumChisq Input number 100 The maximum chisq value for fits to remove the peak. Default 100.

Description

This algorithm is intended to automatically find all the peaks in a dataset and subtract them, leaving just the residual ‘background’.

ChildAlgorithms used

The FindPeaks v1 algorithm is used to identify the peaks in the data.
