Summary

Performs powder diffraction data reduction for WAND

Properties

Name Direction Type Default Description
InputWorkspace Input str list Mandatory The main input workspace[s].
BackgroundWorkspace Input MatrixWorkspace   The background workspace to be subtracted.
CalibrationWorkspace Input MatrixWorkspace   The calibration (vanadium) workspace.
BackgroundScale Input number 1 The background will be scaled by this number before being subtracted.
MaskWorkspace Input MaskWorkspace   The mask from this workspace will be applied before reduction
Wavelength Input number 1.4865 Wavelength to set the workspace (A)
Target Input string Mandatory The unit to which spectrum axis is converted to. Allowed values: [‘Theta’, ‘ElasticQ’, ‘ElasticDSpacing’]
XMin Input dbl list   A comma separated list of the XMin for every spectrum. (Optional)
XMax Input dbl list   A comma separated list of the XMax for every spectrum. (Optional)
LogBinning Input boolean False Use logarithmic binning. If false use constant step sizes.
NumberBins Input number 1000 Number of bins to split up each spectrum into.
NormaliseBy Input string Monitor Normalise to monitor or time. Allowed values: [‘None’, ‘Time’, ‘Monitor’]
MaskAngle Input number Optional Phi angle above which will be masked. See MaskAngle for details.
OutputWorkspace Output Workspace Mandatory Output Workspace
Sum Input boolean False Specifies either single output workspace or output group workspace containing several workspaces.

Description

This algorithm performs powder diffraction data reduction for WAND² with calibration, monitor normalization and background subtraction. The CalibrationWorkspace will most likely be a vanadium and will correct for the detector sensitivity. The data can be normalized by monitor count or time. The output workspace can be saved to various formats with SaveFocusedXYE.

It is recommenced to load WAND data with LoadWAND. This algorithm will work on data loaded with LoadEventNexus or the grouped output from FilterEvents.

MaskAngle

The MaskAngle option will mask any out-of-plane (phi angle) detector larger than this value using MaskAngle. This can help with peak sharpness by removing regions where there is large peak broadening due to the divergent beam. The example below using MaskAngle of 10.
