OutputWorkspace

Output

MatrixWorkspace

Mandatory

Output workspace containing mean and standard deviation of resolution per detector.

L1Distribution

Output

MatrixWorkspace

Distribution of lengths of the final flight path.

ThetaDistribution

Output

MatrixWorkspace

Distribution of scattering angles.

Description

This algorithm calculates the resolution of the scattering angle (theta) and final flight path (L1) for a VESUVIO calibration provided by a PAR file.

The calculation is performed using a Monte Carlo simulation that simulates the path of a neutron between a random point on the face of the sample to a random point on the face of each detector.

Usage

Example - VesuvioL1ThetaResolution

resolution, l1_dist, theta_dist = VesuvioL1ThetaResolution(NumEvents=1000)

resolution_spec_names = resolution.getAxis(1).extractValues()
print("Resolution spectra: %s" % (', '.join(resolution_spec_names)))

print("L1 distribution spectra count: %d" % (l1_dist.getNumberHistograms()))
print("Theta distribution spectra count: %d" % (theta_dist.getNumberHistograms()))

Output:

Resolution spectra: l1_Mean, l1_StdDev, theta_Mean, theta_StdDev
L1 distribution spectra count: 196
Theta distribution spectra count: 196
