Components of the MOS RMF





RMF is characterised by 13 components. Each component is defined at 49 energies.



We inspect the variation of 6 components versus energy, to identify discontinuities at the absorption edges or Orsay beam limits.

Recommendations







The O-edge isn't well sampled in the RMF. We should utilise the Orsay data at 160 distinct energies (currently using only 49). Known deficiencies in the purity of the Orsay beam (at the SACO high end) may have migrated into the RMF parameters ?
