== PDF Workshop 2 “Local Structure, Data Correction Matters” ==

This workshop will follow on from the PDF and
Reverse Monte Carlo analysis workshop held
before the York 2008 BCA spring meeting. It
will focus on neutron and/or X-ray data
collection and data corrections needed for Pair
Distribution Function and Total Scattering
analysis. The aim will therefore be to enable
people to produce data suitable for the
analysis tools demonstrated in the last
workshop. 

What you need to do before attending:-

* You need to bring a laptop running MS-Windows (XP, Vista or Windows-7) or a modern linux such as Ubuntu 8.04 or later (There may be a mac version available but I can't promise this).
* Install Java runtime environment on you laptop if it is not already installed, it can be download from [http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp here] if you need it.
* Keep an eye on this website in case anything changes with the timetable etc.

A PDF copy of the the timetable can be download from [[Media:workshop_timetable.pdf| here]].

We will use the GUDRUN and GUDRUN-X programs to correct the data. Alternative software such as PDFgetN and PDFgetX2 are available but sadly we will not have the time or expertise present to demonstrate these alternatives.

workshop or would like further information
