Description
Data Evaluation Group (DEVA) offers support for processing and evaluation of experimental data collected at selected neutron and x-ray instruments of the MLZ. Our service is particularly focused to support infrequent or new users to facilitate data analysis to obtain meaningful results ready for publication in short time. This includes assistance in data reduction, data analysis steps with use of common software tools as well as guidance in interpretation and manuscript writing.
Our group holds regular method-based educational workshops with support of instrument scientists and software providers, each workshop offering insights into a different neutron technique and the related software needed for data analysis. With this concept, multiple goals are achieved, such as training new generation of neutron scientists, encouraging interdisciplinary partnerships between experienced scientists, and interactive sessions with software providers to obtain users’ feedback for further software development.
Here, we provide an overview of the group's capabilities, summarize its recent activities, and present an outline of future developments.
