Calculates and applies corrections for scattering abs absorption in a flat plate sample for a run on an indirect inelastic instrument, optionally allowing for the subtraction or corrections of the container. Uses MonteCarloAbsorption to calculate the corrections.
The correction factor workspace is a workspace group containing the correction factors in the Paalman and Pings format, note that only \({A_{s,s}}\) and \(A_{c,c}\) factors are calculated by this algorithm.

Example - Sample corrections for IRIS:
red_ws = LoadNexusProcessed(Filename='irs26176_graphite002_red.nxs')
can_ws = LoadNexusProcessed(Filename='irs26173_graphite002_red.nxs')
corrected, fact = IndirectFlatPlateAbsorption(SampleWorkspace=red_ws,
SampleChemicalFormula='H2-O',
CanWorkspace=can_ws,
CanScaleFactor=0.8,
SampleHeight=1,
SampleWidth=1,
SampleThickness=1,
Events=100,
UseCanCorrections=False)
ass = fact[0]
print ('Corrected workspace is intensity against %s'
% (corrected.getAxis(0).getUnit().caption()))
print ('Ass workspace is %s against %s'
% (ass.YUnitLabel(), ass.getAxis(0).getUnit().caption()))
Output:
Corrected workspace is intensity against Energy transfer
Ass workspace is Attenuation factor against Wavelength
Example - Sample and container corrections for IRIS:
red_ws = LoadNexusProcessed(Filename='irs26176_graphite002_red.nxs')
can_ws = LoadNexusProcessed(Filename='irs26173_graphite002_red.nxs')
corrected, fact = IndirectFlatPlateAbsorption(SampleWorkspace=red_ws,
SampleChemicalFormula='H2-O',
CanWorkspace=can_ws,
CanChemicalFormula='V',
CanScaleFactor=0.8,
SampleHeight=1,
SampleWidth=1,
SampleThickness=1,
Events=100,
UseCanCorrections=True)
ass = fact[0]
acc = fact[1]
print ('Corrected workspace is intensity against %s'
% (corrected.getAxis(0).getUnit().caption()))
print ('Ass workspace is %s against %s'
% (ass.YUnitLabel(), ass.getAxis(0).getUnit().caption()))
print ('Acc workspace is %s against %s'
% (acc.YUnitLabel(), acc.getAxis(0).getUnit().caption()))
Output:
Corrected workspace is intensity against Energy transfer
Ass workspace is Attenuation factor against Wavelength
Acc workspace is Attenuation factor against Wavelength
