E. Curis et S. Benazeth, A new model for statistical error analysis in XAS: about the distribution function of the absorption coefficient, J SYNCHROTR, 8, 2001, pp. 264-266
Under some general hypothesis, this paper proposes a theoretical model, sho
wing that a gaussian distribution is generally a good approximation of the
experimental distribution of the absorption coefficient. This result is con
firmed experimentally by usage of appropriate statistical tests.
