Improve residual gas scattering calculations
Loading
Maintenance will be performed on git.ligo.org, containers.ligo.org, and docs.ligo.org on Tuesday 22 April 2025 starting at approximately 9am PDT. It is expected to take around 30 minutes and there will be several periods of downtime throughout the maintenance. Please address any comments, concerns, or questions to the helpdesk. This maintenance will be upgrading the GitLab database in order to be ready for the migration.
This allows you to specify the partial pressure of each species as a function of position along the beamtubes instead of assuming that they are constant. An example is given in test/noise/residualgas/AplusSuperGas
.
The original gas scattering calculation also approximated the integral by expanding the exponential to first order. This approximation is suspect and has been replaced with the same numerical integral that is needed for arbitrary pressure profiles. The following two plots show the difference between the new exact calculations and the old approximate ones for A+
