Sorry. a few extra words needed about this thing and i thought we were talking about the same thing. but totally forgot the design The original D4's blocker/knife looked like a cantilever hanging from the primary slits assemblage. I used it for a few months and found it cumbersome (it sat in the drawer for ever and ever). so had a piece machined and installed on the stage (there are 4 screws holes on the stage anyway) currently the D8's blocker is hanging from the theta circle https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4aIhU2qbhPjc0tZOVpTc0h6Y2tJdk9KdTJvWWNubVpFTTE4/view?usp=sharing That figure just shows where the difference is the most obvious. at low 2theta, the profile difference is hard to judge i did not mean an antiscatter slit; that thing normally is installed on an arm infront of the detector

The one of the D4 was fixed on the moving tube arm and had to be inclined to the sample and to the left of the goniometer axis. If you mean something different it is best to ask bruker or the BGMN community directly. When looking at the figure, I notice that it is 2Theta = 150°. With a (normal and correctly adjusted) beamknife, you cannot measure above ca. 110°. MAybe you mean an antiscatter slit in the beam? As this says, it only reduces scattering and only changes the BG, no changes to the pattern.

At least by theory.the attached graph is calculated peak profiles using configuration modified from Nicola Doebelin's d8-lynxeye-fds-02_1.sav. the only added statement is AirScat=1 (mm). certainly it maybe true that at low angles the difference may not be discernible. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4aIhU2qbhPjT1hLZklTcW0tWFk/view?usp=sharing On Wednesday, July 29, 2015 4:07 PM, Martin Fisch <m_fi...@bluewin.ch> wrote: If correctly adjusted, there is no contribution to the diffraction pattern, except for changes in the background. Check whether correctly adjusted with intensities of a known sample from 0 to ca. 90° 2Theta.

In the beginning, I had to put simple geometry into the bgmn configuration sav-file until Dr Bergmann put a parameter airscatter=#. Now I came back to the business with a D8 with lynx eye; is there anybody here willing to share the experience of handling it in TOPAZ? thanks Jilin zhang Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone | ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Please do NOT attach files to the whole list <alan.he...@neutronoptics.com> Send commands to <lists...@ill.fr> eg: HELP as the subject with no body text The Rietveld_L list archive is on http://www.mail-archive.com/rietveld_l@ill.fr/ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
