Realisations and projects

1. Data analysis

- SANS data analysis (Didier Richard and Miguel A. González)
SANS_settings: LAMP interface for SANS data treatment (D11, D22, D16). Includes standard corrections. Isotropic and anisotropic data. Now working on including standard models to fit the data and writing a comprehensive manual.
- TOF-BS data analysis (Miguel A. González and Didier Richard)

Monte Carlo based approach (using McStas) to correct backscattering and time-of-flight data with LAMP. Computes and applies self-absorption and self-shielding corrections. Now working on creating an easy implementation, doing something about multiple scattering and writing a comprehensive manual.
