SAXS/WAXS Calibration Data 04/03/2011

Calibration data for SAXS and WAXS (Small and Wide Angle X-Ray Scattering)
from the Australian Synchrotron. SAXS calibrated in the normal way using
silver behenate. WAXS was calibrated using an attenuated direct beam shot of
NIST Certified Reference Material 660a (LaB6) taken in normal incidence. The
accuracy of the WAXS calibration can be seen in data then taken at the rotated
WAXS detector position.

This dataset contains a complete SAXS/WAXS instrument calibration. All SAXS
and WAXS experiments rely on empirical calibration of angle space from known
materials, such as certified materials. Calibrations are done for every
experiment on the beamline, typically during beamline setup. Each calibration
is applied to the data taken on that setup.

This data set is also useful for describing the accuracy of WAXS data taken on
the beamline after careful calibration, since the LaB6 used is a NIST
Certified Reference Material with d-spacing’s measured to high accuracy.
