Application of wavelet analysis to data treatment for small-angle neutron scattering

摘要

This work presents an improvement in the resulting scattering spectra quality due to the use of spectrometer resolution during both wavelet filtering and traditional smoothing the small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) data. This result leads to a better fitting of the form-factor curve at the next step of data analysis. In addition, the wavelet analysis permits one to extract and analyze a background (noisy) component and what is more to carry out instrumental hardware corrections. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V.
