You seem to be thinking about this wrongly.  The chi(E) that gets 
written to the mu(E) ascii file using the thing we discussed last time is

   mu(E) - bkg(E)

That's it.  The difference between the chi(E) in the mu(E) file and the 
normal chi(k) is that (mu(E)-bkg(E)) is interpolated onto a uniform 
k-grid.  There are at least two reasons for doing that, (1) every data 
sets then ends up on the same k-grid, which is a convenience, and (2) a 
uniform k-grid allows use of a /fast/ Fourier transform.

If you want to overplot chi(E) and chi(k), you also have to do the 
coordinate transform between energy and wave-number, which depends upon 
the value of E0.

You have never clearly explained what you are up to and why 
interpolating the normal chi(k) back onto the energy grid was 
inadequate, so I don't know what else I can say that would be helpful.
