scippneutron.conversion.beamline.straight_scattered_beam

scippneutron.conversion.beamline.straight_scattered_beam(*, position, sample_position)

Compute the length of the beam from sample to detector.

Assumes a straight beam. The result is

\[\mathtt{scattered\_beam} = \mathtt{position} - \mathtt{sample\_position}\]

Parameters:

• position (Union[Variable, DataArray, Dataset, DataGroup]) – Position of the detector.

• sample_position (Union[Variable, DataArray, Dataset, DataGroup]) – Position of the sample.

Returns:

Union[Variable, DataArray, Dataset, DataGroup] – scattered_beam
