Extract

The intensity round-robin is one of a series of round-robins sponsored by the International Centre for Diffraction Data. The purpose of these round-robins is to attempt to quantify problems encountered in the acquisition, analysis and interpretation of powder diffraction data. Previous International Centre sponsored round-robins have addressed topics including: manual and automated search match methods; sample preparation methods; d-spacing accuracy; cell parameter refinement and peak profile calibration.

The primary focus of the intensity round-robin was to study measured intensities obtained from modern computer controlled powder diffractometers. However, the tests were designed in such a way as to also yield information on the performance of data treatment software packages. To this end, participants were asked to submit both raw and treated data, thus allowing evaluation of, for example, the efficiency of peak hunting algorithms in finding peaks.
