Status:

application definition (contribution), extends NXxas

Description:

In total fluorescence yield (TFY), the absorption coefficient ...

In total fluorescence yield (TFY), the absorption coefficient \(\mu(E)\) is proportional to the ratio of the total fluorescence intensity \(I_f\) and the incident beam intensity \(I_0\):

\[\mu(E) \propto I_f/I_0\]

The total fluorescence signal is measured with a detector such as a photodiode that collects all emitted fluorescence without energy discrimination.

The top-level intensity field contains the processed absorption coefficient. When the raw detector data and processing steps are available, they can be stored in the optional NXinstrument and NXprocess groups, enabling full reproducibility of the data reduction.
