A review of data collection and correction procedures.
Following my previous work in progress detailing the data correction steps to obtain good data, I finally had the chance to write this down in […]

Monte-Carlo: now in 2D!
Small-angle scattering analysis has never been easy for those working with oriented nanostructures (e.g. fibres, processed polymers, rolled metal alloys), whose structure may lead to […]
Papers! One of mine and one on detector data read-in
It has been a long time in the making, but now the day has finally come where the 1D Monte Carlo method has been published! […]
Paper highlights: Prior art and detector trouble
Hello everyone, and welcome to the remaining 90% of 2013 (as of February 4), surely you’ve made good use of the first 10! I’ve been […]
Monte-Carlo fitting of isotropic scattering and observability on arXiv
We have now entered the final two weeks before the Scattering-Bonanza that is SAS2012… Are you feeling the pressure yet? With many good talks lined […]
Nothing new here
So it seems science has beaten us to the punch once again. Remember last week’s optimistic story on how you can make better use of […]
capillary self-absorption paper highlight, and new video
Dear scatterers, Those of you who have been reading this weblog for a while now, may remember the calculation of the sample self-absorption correction for […]
A compact pneumatic fibre tensile stage – publication
It is with pleasure that I can announce the publication of another fibre-related work, right here (The electronic reprint will be made available after December on […]
More statistics and change of job
Hello dear readers, As a followup on my previous story, a colleague of mine sent me this paper that helps explain the standard deviation, standard […]
Careful when using Molybdenum radiation sources
Just a quick heads-up. There’s a chance of 0.5% low-energy contamination when using molybdenum or silver radiation sources, even when using focusing devices, according to […]
