Description

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.

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,
                                              ElementSize=1,
                                              UseCanCorrections=False,
                                              Version=1)

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
