A new method for the evaluation of small-angle scattering data

Glatter, O.·1977·Journal of Applied Crystallography

Abstract

A new numerical method is presented for simultaneous smoothing, desmearing and Fourier transformation of X-ray and neutron small-angle scattering data. The method can only be applied to scattering curves from dilute particle systems, i.e. for scattering media whose distance distributions are zero beyond a certain value. The distance distribution of the scattering medium is approximated by a linear combination of about 20 to 30 cubic B-splines. These spline functions have a restricted extension in real space. Their coefficients are adjusted by a weighted least-squares operation so that the series, after being Fourier transformed and smeared according to the geometry and wavelength distribution, represents an optimum smoothed approximation of the experimental data. Tendencies towards oscillations in the least-squares operation are suppressed by a new stabilization routine. The method offers a new possibility for the estimation of the radius of gyration, which is generally superior to the Guinier approximation.

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.
