Data Analysis

Data Analysis

Data analysis is supported through user training which is provided at the AINSE Neutron Scattering Winter School (http://www.ainse.edu.au/events2/winter_schools).

Data analysis for Koala can be carried with a variety of software packages, here some examples:

SHELX is a set of programs for crystal structure determination from single-crystal diffraction data and can be found at http://shelx.uni-ac.gwdg.de/SHELX/.

JANA is a program for structure analysis of crystals which are periodic in three or more dimensions which can be found at http://jana.fzu.cz/.

CRYSTALS is a software package for single crystal X-ray and neutron structure refinement and analysis. It can be downloaded from http://www.xtl.ox.ac.uk/crystals.html.

Data Correction and Reduction

Data correction and reduction is provided by the Koala instrument scientists, but if desired users are able to perform this task with
LAUE G.

For support, contact the Koala instrument scientists: koala@ansto.gov.au

Data Access

The Bragg Institute promotes access to data collected during scientific experiments. See http://www.ansto.gov.au/research/bragg_institute/users/data_archiving.

Access to data is available at ANSTO during the 3 year embargo period via the following options:

• Login to https://tardis.nbi.ansto.gov.au where you can search through your data and download as required.
• Access a secure copy at scp.nbi.ansto.gov.au using a client such as FileZilla (see http://filezilla-project.org/download.php) or winSCP (see http://winscp.net/eng/download.php).

If you are unable to login, contact the Bragg Institute User Office Bragg-UserOffice@ansto.gov.au

It is ANSTO policy that after a 3 year embargo period, data becomes publicly accessible. This can be viewed as "Public Experiments" at https://tardis.nbi.ansto.gov.au. Metadata relating to the experimental data is copied to Research Data Australia http://researchdata.ands.org.au. In encouraging this practice ANSTO has helped many researchers forge new collaborations.
