Abstract

Measurements on X-ray photographs of cylindrical specimens of different absorption and thickness taken in a camera without eccentricity show that the absorption error in the apparent unit-cell dimension a is proportional to cos 2 θ/sinθ + cos 2 θ/θ. The plot of a against ½(cos 2 θ/sinθ + cos 2 θ/θ) is linear down to θ = 30° for all four specimens used. The extrapolated values for a are in good agreement, and this extrapolation function is accordingly recommended in the case of data from well constructed cameras. Other extrapolation functions are also considered, and the effect of various sources of error discussed. A table of ½(cos 2 θ/sinθ + cos 2 θ/θ) is given.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
