My task for the dates of 2/25/17 to 3/5/17 was to find out what parameters in pdfgetx2 affects the graph of S(Q) Vs. Q(/A) and ultimately adjusting these parameters so that the graph would oscillate around y=1. The first step I took was to set up the initial parameters correctly so that I could see whether any corrections were needed to be made to the graph of S(Q). These initial parameters are important because if not set up correctly, the graph of S(Q) will be skewed. The first criteria I checked was the wavelength (A) of the X-Ray beam. The wavelength that we had was .7107 due to using Molybdenum as our X-Ray material. I then went to the sample information tab in pdfgetx2 to adjust my sample parameters. I adjusted the sample geometry so that the program knew that our data was collected from a sample in a cylindrical capillary with a 2mm diameter. After setting the sample geometry, I put in the sample composition so that the program knew what my sample was made of. This is important because different materials have different attenuation coefficients. The attenuation coefficient is how easily an X-Ray can penetrate the volume of a material. Unfortunately, the exact value of a materials attenuation coefficient cannot be found so a close estimate had to be made. After setting up my initial parameters, I graphed S(Q) to see if any corrections had to be made. Since the S(Q) did not oscillate around 1, some corrections had to be made. I then made sure the program was reading my data correctly. After confirming that the data was read correctly, I went to the S(Q) corrections tab in pdfgetx2. I checked whether the sample self-absorption box and Compton scattering box were active. The sample self-absorption puts the absorption coefficient and sample geometry into effect, while the Compton scattering is the scattering of a photon because of a charged particle. Both affect S(Q) and should be considered for data corrections. I then switched the Breit-Dirac Factor to 3 because we were measuring X-Ray intensities. I also had to change the Rulandwin Function width so that it would match our energy window. Next, I made sure the X-Ray polarization was turned on because the polarization factor was not 1.  These parameters adjusted the graph of S(Q) and made it oscillate closer to 1. However, the greatest effect on the graph was the Fluorescence. Fluorescence is the secondary X-Ray that is formed during our test. We know that this occurs during testing, but an exact value of what it is cannot be formed and an estimate is used. Our estimate was about 2000 RFUs. After adjusting these parameters, I finally got the graph of S(Q) Vs. Q(/A) to oscillate around 1.
