CYLINDRICAL ABSORB

4.14 - CYLINDRICAL Absorption Correction

Synopsis
This provides a correction suitable for cylindrical or needle crystals, where the crystal is mounted along the cylinder axis. If muR exceeds 10.0 the program is aborted, as the errors will be too large. The only required input is the mean cylindrical radius of the crystal in mm. The correction is calculated by interpolation of data from International Tables. If direction cosines are present in the input reflection file, these will be echoed to the output file.
