XPDF Analysis Workshop 2024
Provided by the I15-1 Team, this workshop will be a comprehensive introduction into PDF theory will allow for delegates to understand basic PDF experiments, what makes good total scattering and PDF data and how to analyse it. There will also be opportunities for small group tours to the beamline for a more hands on experience.
The event will include sessions targeted at various analysis techniques with extensive tutorials provided using TOPAS, Symmetry-Adapted PDF Analysis (SAPA) and Dissolve. This will allow for delegates to apply the analysis routes to guided tutorials and time permitting, their own data.
During the event there will also be opportunities for those attending to bring their own data and discuss any analysis issues with the I15-1 staff.
