The final unit of the x-axis is changed to momentum (Y) space as defined by the formula:
\(Y = 0.2393\frac{M}{\epsilon_i^{0.1}}(\omega - \frac{q^2}{2M})\)
where \(M\) is the mass in atomic mass units, \(\displaystyle\epsilon\) is the incident energy, \(\displaystyle\omega\) is the energy change and \(q\) is defined as \(\sqrt{(k_0^2 + k_1^2 - 2k_0k_1\cos(\theta))}\).
The TOF is used to calculate \(\displaystyle\epsilon_i\) and the \(\displaystyle1/\epsilon\) dependence causes an increasing set of TOF values to be mapped to a decreasing set of \(\displaystyle Y\) values. As a result the final \(Y\)-space values are reversed to give a workspace with monotonically increasing \(Y\) values.
Example - simple convert to Y-space:
###### Simulates Load workspace for and Indirect spectrometer #################
tof_ws = CreateSimulationWorkspace(Instrument='MAR',BinParams=[-50,2,50],UnitX='TOF')
SetInstrumentParameter(tof_ws,ParameterName='t0',ParameterType='Number',Value='0.5')
SetInstrumentParameter(tof_ws,ParameterName='efixed',ParameterType='Number',Value='30.')
###### Convert data to format acceptable by ConvertToYSpace
tof_ws = ConvertToPointData(tof_ws)
###### Convert to Y Space
wsY=ConvertToYSpace(InputWorkspace='tof_ws',Mass='30')
#
# Look at sample results:
print('part of the converted workspace:')
for i in range(0,10): print("{:.9f} {:.11f} {}".format(wsY.readX(0)[i], wsY.readY(0)[i], wsY.readE(0)[i]))
Output:
