NXpeak

Status:

base class, extends NXobject

Description:

Description of peaks, their functional form or measured support.

Symbols:

The symbols used in the schema to specify e.g. dimensions of arrays.

n_support: Number of support points

Groups cited:

NXcollection

Structure:

label: (optional) NX_CHAR

Human-readable identifier to specify which concept/entity the peak represents/identifies.

peak_model: (optional) NX_CHAR

Is the peak described analytically via a functional form or is it empirically defined via measured/reported intensity/counts as a function of an independent variable.

If the functional form is not empirical or gaussian, users should enter other for the peak_model and add relevant details in the NXcollection.

Any of these values: empirical | gaussian | lorentzian | other

position: (optional) NX_NUMBER (Rank: 1, Dimensions: [n_support]) {units=NX_ANY}

In the case of an empirical description of the peak and its shoulders, this array holds the position values for the independent variable.

intensity: (optional) NX_NUMBER (Rank: 1, Dimensions: [n_support]) {units=NX_ANY}

In the case of an empirical description of the peak and its shoulders, this array holds the intensity/count values at each position.

COLLECTION: (optional) NXcollection

In the case of an analytical description (or if peak_model is other) this collection holds parameter of (and eventually) the functional form. For example in the case of Gaussians mu, sigma, cut-off values, and background intensity are relevant parameter.
