Agenda
The 3 main topics for the workshop are:
- Explore how far we can go with the fitting tools already implemented in Mantid, what are its current limits and then define a common strategy on how to surpass these
- look at the possibility of creating an independent library of models for QENS fitting
- Discuss other functionalities that are desirable to have available, for example correcting for sample absorption, multiple scattering and other similar sample artefacts
Monday
12:00 Lunch (served in the conference room)
13:00 Welcome (Anders Markvardsen and Thomas Holm Rod on SINE2020)
13:15 Experiences as a QENS user, instrument science and/or software developer + (any) current plans for QENS software development, ~20-25mins per facility
15:30 Photos, Coffee and Biscuits
16:00 First session focussed on topic 1 (all) - while updating a document on this
- Define what QENS fitting should do and what questions it should answer
- To what extent can these questions be answered with the implementation already in Mantid
- Current limits and define a strategy on how to surpass these
- Other?
17:00 Adjourn
Monday Evening
18:30 Dinner
Tuesday
9:00 Session focussed on topic 2
- Sasview as an example where models have been separated out (Thomas Holm Rod)
- Approximately how many QENS models exist, do they vary in complexity, can they be grouped? (all)
- Other?
10:15 Coffee and biscuits
10:30 Session focused on topic 3
12:00 Lunch
13:00 Second session focussed on topic 1 – while updating a document on this (all)
14:00 If there is any time left:
- when is fitting QENS models to data not enough
- when is it required/essential to 'fit' MD simulations (classical or quantum) to QENS data
- Other suggestions?
14:45 Closeout (Anders/All)
15:00 Adjourn
