Which X-ray data analysis software?

Published Aug 25, 2022

Identify which software is useful for your research via the "Inventory of data reduction and analysis software used in high-energy X-ray research at PETRA III" - a new Technical Report from CeXS

To support researchers gain an overview of the range of software that's available, and go on to select software that is relevant to their own research, CeXS has produced a technical report based on our inventory of synchrotron software.

This inventory catalogs the software programs that have proven to be useful to the Swedish research community that conducts research at the PETRA III synchrotron, including the PETRA III Swedish Materials Science beamline.

Based on publications from 2018, the inventory categorizes the various software programs used in research as either data reduction software for 2D area detector X-ray scattering images or data analysis software for WAXS, SAXS, GIWAXS, GISAXS, and PDF.

Each software program has a short description of its functionality, a note of its developer, links to the original publication describing the scientific method that the software is based upon, as well as the site for downloading the software program.

The full title of the CeXS Technical Report is “Inventory of data reduction and analysis software used in high-energy X-ray research at PETRA III (WAXS, SAXS, GIWAXS, GISAXS, PDF)” and the authors are Tao Zhou, Denise McCluskey, Peter Hedström, Gabriel Spartacus and Fredrik Eriksson.
