Both ( ? J"org Bergmann does not seem to believe in Kalpha3)
and much more...
Some years ago I put a big muscovite single crystal in the diffracting
plane of an old Philips. Observed at a normal scale, you only see
the basic 00l lines. But if you zoom a bit, you really see much more :
Cu Kbeta (1.3922 A), W-Lalpha2 (1.4765 A), W-Lbeta1 (1.2817A).
A lot of peaks appear very close to the basic lines.
That muscovite-oriented single crystal pattern is available in PowBase :

pattern 77. It probably shows also big tube tails and maybe (?)
Kalpha3.
