Create a time-of-flight lookup table for LoKI#

[1]:
import scipp as sc
from ess.reduce import time_of_flight
from ess.reduce.nexus.types import AnyRun

Setting up the workflow#

Note here that for now, we have no chopper in the beamline. This should be added in the next iteration.

[2]:
source_position = sc.vector([0, 0, 0], unit='m')

wf = time_of_flight.TofLookupTableWorkflow()
wf[time_of_flight.DiskChoppers[AnyRun]] = {}
wf[time_of_flight.SourcePosition] = source_position
wf[time_of_flight.NumberOfSimulatedNeutrons] = 200_000  # Increase this number for more reliable results
wf[time_of_flight.SimulationSeed] = 1234
wf[time_of_flight.PulseStride] = 1
wf[time_of_flight.LtotalRange] = sc.scalar(9.0, unit="m"), sc.scalar(35.0, unit="m")
wf[time_of_flight.DistanceResolution] = sc.scalar(0.1, unit="m")
wf[time_of_flight.TimeResolution] = sc.scalar(250.0, unit='us')
wf[time_of_flight.LookupTableRelativeErrorThreshold] = 1.0

Compute the table#

[3]:
table = wf.compute(time_of_flight.TimeOfFlightLookupTable)
