Improved data acquisition in grazing-incidence X-ray scattering experiments using a pixel detector.
The use of an area detector in grazing-incidence X-ray experiments lends many advantages in terms of both speed and reliability. Here a discussion is given of the procedures established using the PILATUS pixel detector developed at the Swiss Light Source for optimizing data acquisition and analysis of surface diffraction data at the Materials Science beamline, especially with regard to reflectivity measurements, crystal truncation and fractional order rods, and grazing-incidence diffraction experiments.
