ess.diffraction.normalize_by_monitor¶

ess.diffraction.normalize_by_monitor(data, *, monitor, wavelength_edges=None, smooth_args=None)¶

Normalize event data by a monitor.

The input is converted to wavelength if it does not already contain wavelengths.

Parameters

data (DataArray) – Input event data.
monitor (str) – Name of a histogrammed monitor. Must be stored as metadata in data.
wavelength_edges (Optional[Variable], default: None) – If given, rebin the monitor with these edges.
smooth_args (Optional[Dict[str, Any]], default: None) – If given, the monitor histogram is smoothed with ess.diffraction.lowpass() before dividing into data. smooth_args is passed as keyword arguments to ess.diffraction.lowpass(). If None, the monitor is not smoothed.

Returns

DataArray – data normalized by a monitor.

Return type

scipp._scipp.core.DataArray
