A workflow for Diffraction/Scattering Computed Tomography using the XRDtoolkit.: Presenting the easy to use Python module for online XRD processing.

Abstract

We present a easy to use data analysis framework analysing X-ray diffraction data. It is aimed at users and scientists alike for online analysis at the beam line or offline anywhere. As an example application we demonstrate a workflow for the reconstruction of Diffraction/Scattering Computed Tomography data, covering all steps from detector tilt calibration to sinogram assembly, filtering and reconstruction. Finally we discuss the effects of sample self-absorption on quantitative analysis and propose some solutions that could be investigated in further work.
