1D Penumbra 9050 RightΒΆ

The right 90%-50% penumbra is defined as the distance from the first point on the profile at 90% of the CAX value to the first point that reaches 50% of the CAX value on the right side of the profile:

\[Penumbra(90-50) = |d(P_{50\%}) - d(P_{90\%})|\]
\[P_{50\%} = CAX*0.5\]
\[P_{90\%} = CAX*0.9\]

Where d(P50%) and d(P90%) are the linear distances to the 50% and 90% profile values respectively as defined above.

Since version 0.5 BeamScheme no longer does automatic grounding of the profile, i.e. reducing the minimum to zero. This means that if you want the grounded field size you must explicitly normalise or window the image.

Note Profiles are no longer grounded automatically. This can lead to differences in results from previous version.

Note Noisy data can lead to an inaccurate penumbra value being reported.
