detector efficiency correction

[Nick Draper]

Moved as part of the end of Iteration 19

[Steve Williams]

(In [3306]) LoadDetectorInfo is a new algorithm that adds information like gas pressure and offset times to the detector propertymap. Minor fixes for GroupDetectors and a the start of a script that will correct for detector efficiency variation refs #941 and #777 and #841

[Steve Williams]

(In [3432]) ShapeFactory now ensures that the centre of cylinders is midway between the end caps. MERLIN detectors are more accurately modelled, being cylinders and not cuboids. LoadDetectorInfo deals with missing detectors and getEi uses spectra numbers which seem better known by the Exciations Group. refs #841

[Steve Williams]

(In [3433]) Fixes broken GetEi test refs #841

[Steve Williams]

(In [3434]) Fixes broken Linux build, I can hope refs #841

[Steve Williams]

(In [3442]) New algorithm DetectorEfficiencyCor corrects numbers of counts in a workspace for the efficiency of detectors, which is a function of neutron angle and energy as well as the detectors size and gas pressure. Only basic tests exist so far. Bugs in other algorithms were correct during development refs #841

[Steve Williams]

(In [3443]) Corrected a small error in DetectorEfficiencyCor which now also respects detector masking. We now have a script that write SPE files that should be compatible with the Excitations Group Matlab application Homer refs #841

[Steve Williams]

(In [3447]) Commented out one line in saveSPE.cpp to make MARI files saved as SPE readable by MATLAB mslice, works for MARI files but fails elsewhere? ?? refs #841

[Steve Williams]

(In [3478]) Bug fixes for the Excitations Group algorithms and loading the list of bad detectors refs #841

[Steve Williams]

(In [3481]) A try at fixing the Linux compilation error. Also fixes for warnings refs #841

[Steve Williams]

(In [3484]) If this doesn't fix the test build seg fault does anyone know how to fix it? refs #841

[Martyn Gigg]

(In [3486]) Fix for a test crash. Re #841

[Steve Williams]

(In [3496]) Additions and bug fixes for the detector efficiency script refs #841

[Steve Williams]

(In [3497]) Corrections to the detector efficiency script refs #841

[Steve Williams]

(In [3548]) Allow optional save file properties refs #841

[Steve Williams]

(In [3691]) Remove using statements from the header files that I wrote refs #841

[Steve Williams]

(In [3693]) Chipping away at the DoxyGen warnings refs #841

[Steve Williams]

(In [3827]) Improve handling when no input file is selected refs #841

[Steve Williams]

(In [3830]) Fixing the MantidPlot broken build refs #841

[Steve Williams]

(In [3831]) MantidPlot linker error, try forcing a rebuild refs #841

[Steve Williams]

(In [3897]) The name of the excitations interface is now Homer and there are changes ensure distributions are used when necessary refs #841

[Steve Williams]

(In [3906]) Allowing LoadDetectorInfo to read MAPS and MARI raw files refs #841

[Steve Williams]

(In [4035]) Fixes known problems with the Excitations interface. This GUI front end now calls generates a call to an existing Python function, which makes changing the behaviour and scripting much easier. Numerical difference with libISIS seem to be fixed. refs #1137 and #841

[Steve Williams]

(In [4036]) Scripts no longer needed by the Excitations interface refs #841

[Steve Williams]

(In [4039]) Fixes an error in the Excitations convert energy script refs #841

[Steve Williams]

(In [4042]) Fixes the broken Mantid.msi build refs #841

[Steve Williams]

(In [4044]) Debugging corrections to the Excitations interface refs #841

[Steve Williams]

(In [4115]) Correcting some error estimates: preventing negative errors and stopping errors from being set to zero when the Y-value is zero. refs #841

[Russell Taylor]

(In [4121]) Update SystemTest templates. Re #841

[Peter Peterson]

Re #841. Changed the Mutex raw pointer in Task to a boost::shared_ptr.
