NOTES FROM GROUP D

Yong Le Leading

Discussed:

• Lack of tools and/or awareness thereof outside of biosas - In particular fitting and modeling tools
• Publishing best practice data correction for different standard types of measurements
  • specially GI
  • multiple scattering estimation and ways to handle
• Q and resolution standard
• More complex round robins
• Certification of range of validity of instruments?
• Database of corrected measurements for a wide range of materials with associated metada in NXcanSAS format preferably - maybe something like a like a PDB for materials? Or other? – good metadata important, tags need to be defined so you don't end up using different names for the same thing – new SLAC effort could potentially be co-opted for such a purpose?
• Uncertainties in multiple techniques fits
• Tools for multiple scattering would be useful

Top Thoughts for Going Forward

• Publishing best practice data correction and terminology for different standard types of measurements
• Database of corrected measurements for a wide range of materials with associated metada in NXcanSAS format preferably
