The Data Evaluation Group at MLZ offers support for processing and evaluation of experimental data collected at MLZ instruments. This service is particularly focused to support infrequent or new users to facilitate data analysis to obtain meaningful results ready for publication in short time. This includes guidance to data evaluation and reductions steps after the experiments, the use of common software packages and support in publication writing.

• SPODI,

• NAA.

We are experienced in using software packages such as FullProf Suite, Steca, Grasp, SasView, FIT2D, DPDAK, VGStudio MAX, Hyperlab, Kayzero. Moreover, support is given to analyze X-ray diffraction patterns from our diffractometers in the Physics lab.

In addition, we provide regular educational workshops for our user community, each offering insights into a different neutron technique and related software needed for data analysis. These courses are aimed at training the new generation of neutron scientists, encouraging interdisciplinary partnerships between experienced scientists, and interactive sessions with software providers to obtain feedback for further software development.
