| Name | Direction | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| InputWorkspace | Input | MatrixWorkspace | Mandatory | An input workspace. |
| Temperature | Input | string | SampleLog variable name that contains the temperature, or a number | |
| OutputWorkspace | Output | MatrixWorkspace | Mandatory | An output workspace. |
| OutputUnits | Input | string | Energy | Susceptibility as a function of energy (meV) or frequency (GHz). Allowed values: [‘Energy’, ‘Frequency’] |
The fluctuation dissipation theorem [1,2] relates the dynamic susceptibility to the scattering function
\(\left(1-e^{-\frac{E}{k_B T}}\right) S(\mathbf{q}, E) = \frac{1}{\pi} \chi'' (\mathbf{q}, E)\)
where \(E\) is the energy transfer to the system. The algorithm assumes that the y axis of the input workspace contains the scattering function \(S\). The y axis of the output workspace will contain the dynamic susceptibility. The temperature is either extracted as the average of the values stored in the appropriate entry of the log attached to the workspace (user supplies the name of the entry) or user can pass a number for the temperature.

Example - Run Applied Detailed Balance
ws = CreateWorkspace(DataX='-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5',DataY='2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2',DataE='1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1',UnitX='DeltaE')
ows = ApplyDetailedBalance(InputWorkspace='ws',OutputWorkspace='ows',Temperature='100', OutputUnits='Frequency')
print("The Y values in the Output Workspace are")
print(ows.readY(0)[0:5])
print(ows.readY(0)[5:10])
Output:
The Y values in the Output Workspace are
[-4.30861792 -3.14812682 -2.11478496 -1.19466121 -0.37535083]
