Calibrating scattering angle in wide angle X-ray scattering experiment

Simultaneous measurements of small angle x-ray scattering, wide angle x-ray scattering, and dielectric spectroscopy during crystallization of polymers

A novel experimental setup is described which allows one to obtain detailed information on structural and dynamical changes in polymers during crystallization. This technique includes simultaneous measurements of small angle-wide angle x-ray scattering and dielectric spectroscopy ~SWD!. The capabilities of the technique have been probed by following in real time the crystallization process of a...

Application of small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) for differentiation between normal and cancerous breast tissues

ABSTRACT Background: Coherent scattering leads to diffraction effects and especially constructive interferences. Theseinterferences carry some information about the molecular structure of the tissue. As breast cancer isthe most widespread cancer in women, this project evaluated the application of small angleX-ray scattering (SAXS) for differentiation between normal and cancerous breast tissues....

Wide-angle X-ray scattering for screening functional ligands.

'Seeing' functional protein–ligand interactions is now possible through the novel application of an established biophysical technique. Researchers at the Argonne National Laboratory (IL, USA) have just demonstrated that ligand binding that induces any type of conformational change in the secondary, tertiary or quaternary structure of the protein can be detected using wide-angle X-ray scattering...

Wide Angle Compton Scattering

We present the handbag contribution to Wide Angle Compton Scattering (WACS) at moderately large momentum transfer obtained with a proton distribution amplitude close to the asymptotic form. In comparison it is found to be significantly larger than results from the hard scattering (pQCD) approach.
