It seems that 5-Gaussian is indeed the accepted technical term for the 9-parameter expansion: Given that a5=c and b5=0, the 5th Gaussian can be a constant.
Continuing this reasoning, even a binary mumber can be represented as series of Gaussians.....a=0,b=0; a=1, b=0 This is called 'Gomputing'.

Anyway that is how I got 5 - and it is the 9-parameter Cromer-Mann approximation.. And Yes - each component is added to the B value to build up the real space atomic density. as you show. Eleanor
