Re: Ifeffit Digest, Vol 46, Issue 7
I have a question what does Rbkg option in athena does. What is its physical significance. I am new to exaf data analysis.

Very nice! I'd be happy to give you some space on http://cars9.uchicago.edu/~ravel/software/contrib.html, if that would>> help.
You could use the wiki for this. Hello Bruce, Hello Matt,
I appended the script file along with a couple of textfiles for testing.There is a description at the top of the file that explains how to use it.
I think both the wiki and the Athena homepage are good places to offer it. Can I leave it up to you where you want to have it?
I only tested it on Windows so maybe you want to give it a try on Linux/Mac first.
Cheers, Gerrit

There is a ton of information about exafs analysis at http://xafs.org. In particular, check out the Tutorials section. The meaning of Rbkg is covered with pretty pictures in the first of Shelly Kelly's tutorials around page 30. In short (and I recommend you look at the figure on page 30 of Shelly's presentation), Rbkg is the cutoff in Fourier space between the part of the measured spectrum that is the background and the part that is data. The oscillatory chi(k) function has frequencies that are related to inter-atomic distances. Frequencies below some value, then, are associated with the background function. The spline is adjusted such that the Fourier components below Rbkg are minimized. A typical value for Rbkg is about half the near neighbor distance.
