Re: [sdpd] calibration problems with Silicon+gsas



Dear Lujun

I hope my answer will appear in the mailing list of the sdpd group this 
time !

I had a look on your raw data named "silicon.raw" via the rawdata 
handling option of WinXPow.
Some fields do not agree with your information and I do not understand why:
1°) in the detector field, "Image Plate" is indicated and not "linear PSD"
2°) in the Scan Mode field: "Debye Scherrer" is indicated instead of 
"Transmission" following your informations.

Moreover the field for the PSD step is not indicated... (and this 
perhaps explain why this parameter is not known exactly ?).

Following me, your detector is not a linear-PSD one, but an curved Image 
plate (IP) PSD one, that can read up to 140° 2theta in one time.
This is why you were not able to answer to my question about the PSD 
step: your is fixed, covers 140° 2theta whereas a linear-PSD one covers 
about 6° maximum, and has to move step by step to cover the requested 
data range.

Now that this information about your detector is a little bit clearer, I 
remain rather sure that a new "fresh" calibration should be welcome for 
your detector and  would improve the quality of your "oscillating" 
background, even if this curved IP-PSD does not request calibration as 
frequently as the linear PSD (wire detector, gas filled).

Best,

JM

About the next calibration, i have already made an appointment with related personnel and it will be done by us on next mondy.
