Description
Bornagain is an open-source package that simulates and fits neutron and x-ray grazing-incidence small-angle scattering. It implements the distorted-wave Born approximation (DWBA) as the physical model for the scattering process and allows users to simulate multilayer samples with smooth or rough interfaces. Additionally, it includes a vast catalogue of nanoparticle form factors, which can be arranged in different 3d configurations.
The tutorial will introduce the two main use cases of bornagain: GISA[X|N]S Simulations and GISA[X|N]S data fitting. A series of short video-tutorials will be made available for participants to watch before the interactive session. The video tutorials will cover the simulation of a GISAXS experiment and the fitting of mock data, while the interactive session will focus on fitting data coming from a real experiment (Thanks to Nicolo Paracini & Marité Cardenas). In order to attend the interactive session, participants are asked to download and install bornagain (https://www.bornagainproject.org/download/) and contact Åsa Grunning asa.grunning@fsi.lu.se beforehand to get the links to the video tutorials.
If problems arise during the installation of bornagain, please contact Juan Carmona directly j.carmona.loaiza@fz-juelich.de
