Description

An analysis is presented of the angular distribution of reflections in Laue diffraction, with particular application to the spatial overlap problem in synchrotron macromolecular cristallography. Spatial overlaps of spots on the detector occur when the angular separations of adjacent diffracted beams are very small. The maximum density of spots occurs at θc=sin-1 (λminD*/2) and the majority of spots in this region of θ have short wavelengths. (orig./WL)
