# ncnrdata - NCNR Data¶

 ANDR Instrument definition for NCNR AND/R diffractometer/reflectometer. MAGIK Instrument definition for NCNR MAGIK diffractometer/reflectometer. NCNRData NG1 Instrument definition for NCNR NG-1 reflectometer. NG7 Instrument definition for NCNR NG-7 reflectometer. PBR Instrument definition for NCNR PBR reflectometer. XRay Instrument definition for NCNR X-ray reflectometer. find_xsec Find files containing the polarization cross-sections. load Return a probe for NCNR data. load_magnetic Return a probe for magnetic NCNR data. parse_ncnr_file Parse NCNR reduced data file returning header and data.

The following instruments are defined:

MAGIK, PBR, ANDR, NG1, NG7 and XRay

These are refl1d.instrument.Monochromatic classes tuned with default instrument parameters and loaders for reduced NCNR data.

The instruments can be used to load data or to compute resolution functions for the purposes.

>>> from refl1d.names import *
>>> datafile = sample_data('chale207.refl')
>>> instrument = NCNR.ANDR(Tlo=0.5, slits_at_Tlo=0.2, slits_below=0.1)
>>> probe.plot(view='log')


Magnetic data has multiple cross sections and often has fixed slits:

>>> datafile = sample_data('lha03_255G.refl')
>>> instrument = NCNR.NG1(slits_at_Tlo=1)
>>> probe.plot(view='SA', substrate=silicon) # Spin asymmetry view


For simulation, you need a probe and a sample:

>>> instrument = NCNR.ANDR(Tlo=0.5, slits_at_Tlo=0.2, slits_below=0.1)
>>> probe = instrument.probe(T=numpy.linspace(0,5,51))
>>> probe.plot_resolution()
>>> sample = silicon(0,10) | gold(100,10) | air
>>> M = Experiment(probe=probe, sample=sample)
>>> M.simulate_data() # Optional
>>> M.plot()


And for magnetic:

>>> instrument = NCNR.NG1(slits_at_Tlo=1)
>>> #sample = silicon(0,10) | Magnetic(permalloy(100,10),rho_M=3) | air
>>> #M = Experiment(probe=probe, sample=sample)
>>> #M.simulate_data()
>>> #M.plot()
>>> #probe = instrument.simulate_magnetic(sample, T=numpy.linspace(0,5,51))
>>> #h = pylab.plot(probe.Q, probe.dQ)
>>> #h = pylab.ylabel('resolution (1-sigma)')
>>> #h = pylab.xlabel('Q (inv A)')

refl1d.ncnrdata.find_xsec(filename)[source]

Return a probe for NCNR data.

Keyword arguments are as specified Monochromatic instruments.

refl1d.ncnrdata.load_magnetic(filename, Aguide=270, H=0, shared_beam=True, **kw)[source]

Return a probe for magnetic NCNR data.

filename (string, or 4x string)
If it is a string, then filenameA, filenameB, filenameC, filenameD, are the –, -+, +-, ++ cross sections, otherwise the individual cross sections should the be the file name for the cross section or None if the cross section does not exist.
Aguide (degrees)
Angle of the guide field relative to the beam. 270 is the default.
shared_beam (True)
Use false if beam parameters should be fit separately for the individual cross sections.

Other keyword arguments are for the individual cross section loaders as specified in instrument.Monochromatic.

The data sets should are the base filename with an additional character corresponding to the spin state:

'a' corresponds to spin --
'b' corresponds to spin -+
'c' corresponds to spin +-
'd' corresponds to spin ++


Unfortunately the interpretation is a little more complicated than this as the data acquisition system assigns letter on the basis of flipper state rather than neutron spin state. Whether flipper on or off corresponds to spin up or down depends on whether the polarizer/analyzer is a supermirror in transmission or reflection mode, or in the case of ^3He polarizers, whether the polarization is up or down.

For full control, specify filename as a list of files, with None for the missing cross sections.

refl1d.ncnrdata.parse_ncnr_file(filename)[source]

If ‘columns’ is present in header, it will be a list of the names of the columns. If ‘instrument’ is present in the header, the default instrument geometry will be specified.

Slit geometry is set to the default from the instrument if it is not available in the reduced file.
