refl1d.snsdata.QRL_to_data(instrument, header, data)[source]

Convert data to T,L,R

class refl1d.snsdata.SNSData[source]

Bases: object

load(filename, **kw)[source]
refl1d.snsdata.TOF_to_data(instrument, header, data)[source]

Convert TOF data to neutron probe.

Wavelength is set from the average of the times at the edges of the bins, not the average of the wavelengths. Wavelength resolution is set assuming the wavelength at the edges of the bins defines the full width at half maximum.

The correct answer is to look at the wavelength distribution within the bin including effects of pulse width and intensity as a function wavelength and use that distribution, or a gaussian approximation thereof, when computing the resolution effects.

refl1d.snsdata.boltzmann_feather(L, counts=100000, range=None)[source]

Return expected intensity as a function of wavelength given the TOF feather range and the total number of counts.

TOF feather is approximately a boltzmann distribution with gaussian convolution. The following looks pretty enough; don’t know how well it corresponds to the actual SNS feather.

refl1d.snsdata.intensity_from_spline(Lrange, dLoL, feather)[source]
refl1d.snsdata.load(filename, instrument=None, **kw)[source]

Return a probe for SNS data.

refl1d.snsdata.parse_sns_file(filename)[source]

Parse SNS reduced data, returning header and data.

header dictionary of fields such as ‘data’, ‘title’, ‘instrument’ data 2D array of data

refl1d.snsdata.write_file(filename, probe, original=None, date=None, title=None, notes=None, run=None, charge=None)[source]
