AmplitudeTime

class nexus.AmplitudeTime(experiment, time_length=200, time_step=0.2, electronic=False, fft_window='auto', id='')

Bases: Measurement

Constructor for the AmplitudeTime class. Class to calculate the time-dependent scattering amplitudes of the experiment. Only possible for a properly set Jones Vector of the Beam.

Parameters:

  • id (string) – User identifier.

  • experiment (Experiment) – Experiment.

  • time_length (float) – Length of the calculation (nanoseconds).

  • time_step (float) – Step size of the calculation in (nanoseconds).

  • electronic (bool) – If True electronic scattering is also included.

  • fft_window (string) –

    A window function that is applied during the Fourier transformation from energy to time. Options are

    • auto (default) - no window, equal to none.

    • Hann

    • Hamming

    • Sine

    • Welch

    • Kaiser2 - \(\alpha = 2\)

    • Kaiser25 - \(\alpha = 2.5\)

    • Kaiser3 - \(\alpha = 3\)

    • none
