SphericalAbsorptionCorrection	Input	boolean	False	Apply Spherical Absorption correction using AnvredCorrection
LinearScatteringCoef	Input	number	Optional	Linear scattering coefficient in 1/cm. If not provided this will be calculated from the material cross-section if present (set with SetSampleMaterial)
LinearAbsorptionCoef	Input	number	Optional	Linear absorption coefficient at 1.8 Angstroms in 1/cm. If not provided this will be calculated from the material cross-section if present (set with SetSampleMaterial)
Radius	Input	number	Optional	Radius of the sample in centimeters. f not provided the radius will be taken from the sample shape if it is a sphere (set with SetSample).
SolidAngleOutputWorkspace	Output	Workspace	Mandatory	Output Workspace for Solid Angle
FluxOutputWorkspace	Output	Workspace	Mandatory	Output Workspace for Flux

Description

This algorithm preprocesses an incoherent scattering sample (usually Vanadium) for use with MDNormSCD. The input filename follows the syntax from MultipleFileProperty. The resulting workspaces can be saved with SaveNexus.

Usage

Corelli example using multiple files with masking

# Create a simple mask file
MaskFilename=mantid.config.getString("defaultsave.directory")+"MDNormSCDPreprocessIncoherent_mask.xml"
LoadEmptyInstrument(InstrumentName='CORELLI', OutputWorkspace='CORELLI')
# Missing banks
MaskBTP('CORELLI', Bank='1-6,29,30,62,63-68,91')
# End of tubes
MaskBTP('CORELLI', Pixel='1-15,242-256')
SaveMask('CORELLI', MaskFilename)

SA, Flux = MDNormSCDPreprocessIncoherent(Filename='CORELLI_28119-28123',
                                         MomentumMin=2.5,
                                         MomentumMax=10,
                                         MaskFile=MaskFilename)
