Description

Subtract the dark current from a HFIR SANS data set. This algorithm is rarely called directly. It is called by HFIRSANSReduction.

This workflow algorithm will:

  • Properly load the dark current data set
  • Normalize the dark current to the data taking period
  • Subtract the dark current from the input workspace

The dark current is subtracted pixel by pixel by normalizing the dark current data by counting time, as follows:

\(I'(x,y)=I_{data}(x,y)-\frac{T_{data}}{T_{dc}} I_{dc}(x,y)\)

where the T-values are the counting times for the data set and the dark current (dc).
