Geometry:WAXS 3D
In wide-angle scattering (WAXS), one cannot simply assume that the detector plane is orthogonal to the incident x-ray beam. Converting from detector pixel coordinates to 3D q-vector is not always trivial, and depends on the experimental geometry.
Area Detector on Goniometer Arm
Consider a 2D (area) detector connected to a goniometer arm. The goniometer has a center of rotation at the center of the sample (i.e. the incident beam passes through this center, and scattered rays originate from this point also). Let be the in-plane angle of the goniometer arm (rotation about Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \scriptstyle z } -axis), and Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \scriptstyle \theta_g } be the elevation angle (rotation away from Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \scriptstyle xy } plane and towards Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \scriptstyle z } axis).
