Description

This algorithm extends the TOFSANSResolution to implement the experimentally determined TOF resolution for EQSANS.

The Q resolution for a TOF SANS has two components: a geometrical contribution and a contributions from the resolution in TOF.

The TOF resolution for EQSANS was measured to be:

\(\Delta T = y_0 + A ( f/(1+\exp((\lambda-x^0_1)/k_1)) + (1-f)/(1+\exp((\lambda-x^0_2)/k_2)) )\)

where \(\lambda\) is the wavelength and

\(y_0 = -388\)

\(A = 3838\)

\(f = 0.04398\)

\(x^0_1 = 3.392\)

\(x^0_2 = 134.3\)

\(k_1 = -0.5587\)

\(k_2 = -65.46\)

This algorithm is generally not called directly. It’s called by EQSANSAzimuthalAverage1D after the calculation of I(Q). It can only be applied to an I(Q) workspace.
