PyChop Stand-alone

PyChop is a program to calculate the energy resolution of a time-of-flight (ToF) neutron spectrometer from the burst time of the instrument's moderator and the opening times of its choppers.

The code is based on CHOP, a fortran program written by T. G. Perring, and multirep, a Matlab program by R. I. Bewley.

This is a port of the Mantid PyChop code to work without Mantid.

Further documentation is available on the Mantid webpage

A web version is accessible at https://mducle.github.io/pychop/unstable/
