Data Visualization, Reduction and Analysis Software for Single Crystal Time-of-flight Neutron Diffraction Instruments

授予威斯康星大学斯托特分校的这一奖项支持本科生参与Spectron中子源（SNS）单晶衍射仪（SCD）的软件开发。 SNS为威斯康星大学斯托特分校的高级工作人员在威斯康星大学斯托特分校授予一名主要调查员的公休假期间提供支持。该项目的重点是原始数据的减少和在SNS的SCD仪器的可视化需求。具体而言，项目范围包括以下目标：（1）支持和修订主要研究人员开发的综合光谱分析软件（ISAW）的基本SCD数据简化工具;（2）开发有效和灵活地形成倒易空间中事件数据直方图的工具，以便有效地交互可视化倒易空间和未来漫散射研究;（3）开发新的和改进的SCD数据和倒易空间可视化软件;（4）继续支持和扩展ISAW查看器和代码库的功能，以支持它们在SNS和中子散射社区的其他地方的使用。 本科生将帮助支持和扩展ISAW代码库，并将参与设计，实现和测试组件的前三个目标。

This award to the University of Wisconsin-Stout supports undergraduate students' participation on software development for Single Crystal Diffractometers (SCD) at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS). SNS provides support for senior staff from University of Wisconsin-Stout during a sabbatical leave granted to one of the principal investigators by UW-Stout. The project is focused on raw data reduction and visualization needs of the SCD instruments at the SNS. Specifically, the project scope includes the following objectives: (1) to support and revise the basic SCD data reduction tools of the Integrated Spectral Analysis Workbench (ISAW) software developed by the principal investigators; (2) to develop tools for efficiently and flexibly forming histograms of event data in reciprocal space for efficient interactive visualization of reciprocal space and future studies of diffuse scattering; (3) to develop new and improved visualization software for SCD data and reciprocal space; (4) and to continue to support and extend the functionality of the ISAW viewers and code base to support their use at the SNS and elsewhere in the neutron scattering community. Undergraduate students will help support and extend the ISAW code base and will be involved in the design, implementation and testing of components for the first three goals listed.
