Experiments versus simultations: modelling of instrumentation for X-ray scattering experiments

Jana Baltser

Abstract

The world of instrumentation utilising X-ray radiation is expanding and leading to more sophisticated experiments. Every step of this process requires accurate calculation, and this is where simulation plays an important role. With the advert of modern computers and technologies, simulation has become a very powerful tool, which allows prediction of experimental outcomes with high precision and accuracy.

The present Ph. D. work is dedicated to development of such a simulation tool based on a ray-tracing technique, McXtrace, its application for modelling of experiments at a synchrotron beamline (Advanced Photon Source, USA) and at laboratory facilities (University of Copenhagen, DK) and benchmarking the code against another simulation package SRW.
