scippneutron.conversion.beamline.total_beam_length(*, L1, L2)[source]#

Compute the combined length of the incident and scattered beams.

The result is

\[L_\mathsf{total} = | L_1 + L_2 |\]

Parameters:

L1 (Variable | DataArray | Dataset | DataGroup[Any]) – Primary path length (incident beam).
L2 (Variable | DataArray | Dataset | DataGroup[Any]) – Secondary path length (scattered beam).

Returns:

Variable | DataArray | Dataset | DataGroup[Any] – \(L_\mathsf{total}\)
