X-ray and neutron scattering are widely used powerful techniques for probing the physical structure of materials at the molecular and supramolecular scale. With the simultaneous advent of high-speed detectors, previously unimaginable time-resolved in situ and high throughput photon and neutron experiments have become possible, with the subsequent explosion of data volumes. Data analysis is...
The European Spallation Source (ESS) will operate a suite of diffractometers, with the DREAM diffractometer [1] among the first instruments to be commissioned with neutrons. In order to take full advantage of this powerful source and to ensure smooth operation even for first-time users, the ESS Data Management and Software Centre is developing an integrated data pipeline linking all the steps...
The field of Neutron Scattering relies heavily on computer simulations for design of our instruments. Simulations can however be used in a broader scope, including preparation of beamtimes, training and understanding of spurions. To realize this broader scope, simulation packages must be able to include the details necessary to describe the experiment, run sufficiently fast and be easy to use....
Data reduction is a crucial prerequisite to data analysis in neutron scattering expermients; in the case of single crystal diffraction, it involves the reduction of a set of detector images at fixed sample rotation increments to a set of miller indices with integrated intensities. However, the only avaailable mature software solutions are either legacy codes, converted from X-ray diffraction,...
