TOF_FACTOR

Constant TOF_FACTOR

Expand description

TOF conversion factor: t (μs) = TOF_FACTOR × L (m) / √(E in eV).

Derived from t = L / √(2E/m_n), converting to microseconds: TOF_FACTOR = 1e6 / √(2 × EV_TO_JOULES / NEUTRON_MASS_KG)

Uses CODATA 2018 values (both exact in the 2019 SI).

pub so the analytical crate::ikeda_carpenter model and the nereids-fitting resolution calibrator both use the identical TOF↔energy constant (the calibrator’s position nuisance shifts the grid in TOF) — any drift here would make the IC-vs-tabulated cross-validation unfair.
