Your input needed: calling all grazing incidence scatterers…

Hello everyone. My colleague Anja is working on an attempt to get a standard operating procedure in place for grazing incidence scattering experiments. This will include recommendations on useful ways to align and calibrate the experimental set-up and perform the measurements.

If you have been working on that particular tough cookie, you probably already have some methods in place. We’d love to hear them, so please head over here to give us your thoughts:

Also, if you are interested in helping out with the attempt at “aligning” our respective grazing incidence methodologies, please feel free to send an email to anja [dot ] hoermann [at] bam [dot] de.
