absco

The open-source library libabsco provides routines for the computation of absorption correction factors for X-ray and neutron scattering.

31may12: Version 1.0.0 released. API has changed, computations mostly rewritten, extended documentation in white paper.
For the full history, see the change log.

• White paper by Joachim Wuttke; before using this draft in serious work, ask me for the latest update
• Manual pages:
  • absco(7) Introduction to libabsco
  • absco_slab(3) Absorption coefficients for a slab
  • absco_tube(3) Absorption coefficients for a tubular sample
  • transmission_slab(3) Transmission of a slab
  • transmission_tube(3) Transmission of a tubular sample

• Standard procedure:
  • Download location: http://apps.jcns.fz-juelich.de/src/absco/
  • Unpack the tgz package, configure, make, make install
• Development trunk:

  git clone git://apps.jcns.fz-juelich.de/jwu-varia.git/
