Properties

Name	Direction	Type	Default	Description
InputWorkspace	Input	MatrixWorkspace	Mandatory	An input workspace.
Mass	Input	number	Mandatory	The mass, in AMU, defining the recoil peak to fit
Sum	Input	boolean	True	If true all spectra on the Y-space, fitted & symmetrised workspaces are summed in quadrature to produce the final result
OutputWorkspace	Output	MatrixWorkspace	Mandatory	Input workspace normalised by the fitted peak area
YSpaceDataWorkspace	Output	MatrixWorkspace	Mandatory	Input workspace converted to units of Y-space
FittedWorkspace	Output	MatrixWorkspace	Mandatory	Output from fit of the single mass peakin y-space. The output units are in momentum (A^-1)
SymmetrisedWorkspace	Output	MatrixWorkspace	Mandatory	The input data symmetrised about Y=0. The output units are in momentum (A^-1)

Description

Takes an input TOF spectrum from LoadVesuvio and converts it to Y-space using the ConvertToYSpace algorithm. The result is then fitted using the ComptonPeakProfile function and the given mass to produce an estimate of the peak area. The input data is normalised by this value.

The input workspace is required to be a point data workspace, see ConvertToPointData, and each detector is required to have an instrument parameter named t0 that specifies the detector delay time in \(\mu s\), see SetInstrumentParameter.

The algorithm has 4 outputs:

• the input data normalised by the fitted peak area;

• the input data (without normalisation) converted Y-space;

• the fitted peak in Y-space;

• the input data converted to Y and then symmetrised about Y=0.

If the sum option is requested then all input spectra are rebinned, in steps of 0.5 \(\AA^{-1}\), to a common Y grid and then summed to give a single spectrum.

Usage

Example - Normalise without summation:

###### Simulates LoadVesuvio #################
tof_ws = CreateSimulationWorkspace(Instrument='Vesuvio',BinParams=[50,0.5,562],UnitX='TOF')
tof_ws = CropWorkspace(tof_ws,StartWorkspaceIndex=0,EndWorkspaceIndex=4) # index one less than spectrum number
tof_ws = ConvertToPointData(tof_ws)
SetInstrumentParameter(tof_ws, ParameterName='t0',ParameterType='Number',Value='0.5')
SetInstrumentParameter(tof_ws, ParameterName='sigma_l1', ParameterType='Number', Value='0.021')
SetInstrumentParameter(tof_ws, ParameterName='sigma_l2', ParameterType='Number', Value='0.023')
