From the Tech Ref: [axial_n_beta #20]: Define the number of rays emanating from a point X-ray source in the axial plane. Larger values for axial_n_beta increases both accuracy and calculation time. Looks like Alan is doing some sort of ray tracing to calculate the peak profiles. On 20 December 2

"N Beta" in TOPAS Full Axial Model

2013-12-19 Thread Allen, Douglas R.
Can anyone tell me the meaning and possible setting for the "N Beta" item in the Full Axial Model on the Instrument Parmeters page of TOPAS. We have always used a setting of 20 but I have no idea why or what it means. ++ Please do NOT a

Hello to all! My name's Lukasz Kruszewski, my interest recently is the mineralogy of burning coal dumps. I'm trying to obtain the unit cell parameters of some members of the alunite group, analysed on Bruker D5005 diffractometer (Co Ka, Bragg-Brentano, RS = 0.6mm wide, FDS = 1 deg.) with use f
