Description

We demonstrate the maximum entropy method for the deconvolution of high-resolution tunneling data acquired with a quasi-elastic spectrometer. Given a precise characterization of the instrument resolution function, a maximum entropy analysis of lutidine data obtained with the IRIS spectrometer at ISIS results in an effective factor-of-three improvement in resolution.
