PRECISION-MEASUREMENTS USING A CURVED POS ITION-SENSITIVE DETECTOR

Position sensitive curved detectors offers various advantages in XRD e xperiments. However a specific calibration and measurement protocol is required in order to achieve accurate results. To estimate the resolu tion and reproducibility of the measurements, and to assess the shape and size of the systematic deviations front the best linear calibratio n of the detector setup, diffractograms were obtained on a standard mi xture over a long period of time.
