Dear all, thank you for your replies, they are very helpful and instructive. The data is from id06, collected using an image-plate detector, then integrated. The files contain 2Thetha and intensities; sigmas were taken as square-root of the intensities. Christina Quoting Andy FITCH :

Dear Christina, Chi2 may be small because of a high noise, so it indicates that the model is over-refined with respect to the quality of the data (quick collection using analyzer crystal). This is a trivial case and you can't help it. The other (more likely) option is that you have low-noise dat

Dear all, I am working on a refinement of synchrotron-X-ray powder data; the fit is ok (though certainly not perfect) but I ended up with a confusingly small reduced chi^2: Rp = 23.4% wRp = 16.9% F^2 = 18.6% chi^2 = 0.755 (1733 observations, 15 variables). I would be very grateful for any sugge
