This is a function of a 2-crystal monochromator. If the Bragg planes of the two crystals are exactly parallel, that's canned being tuned. Let's say you have Si111 crystals. Not only is the 111 allowed, but so are the 333, 444, ... Thus, if you're set for 3keV, you'll also get some at 9keV, 12

[Ifeffit] on Tune and Detune

2012-06-21 Thread Enyuan Hu
Dear all, I'm new to the community and I was wondering if I can ask some basic questions here. I heard the beamline scientist mention "tune" and "detune" and I saw in some materials say "detune to get rid of high order harmonics", but what is "harmonics"? and why it's necessary to detune to get ri

Amazon has lots of used copies. I like original sources -- especially since you can look at them and see, for example, that a particular function is described under the heading, "Empirical Methods" instead of relying on what someone told you on the Internet. Sam's Sixpack paper cites Malinowski's

That book is out of print and hard to get. You should refer to later papers. The IND function is not necessarily robust. It's not rigorously derived, but is sort of empirical. mam On 6/21/2012 9:20 AM, Baker, Leslie wrote: This is the factor indicator function. Its minimum can be us

This is the factor indicator function. Its minimum can be used to indicate the correct number of meaningful factors. There's an explanation here: http://www.vub.ac.be/fabi/multi/pcr/chaps/chap6.html For more information, see Malinowski's book Factor Analysis in Chemistry. -Leslie -Origi
