Abstract

One of the main goals of neutron data analysis is to determine the internal structure of materials from their neutron scattering profiles. These structures are defined by a crystallographic class label and a set of real-valued parameters specific to that class. Existing structure analysis approaches use computationally expensive loop refinements methods that routinely take days, and even weeks, to complete. Additionally, the outcomes often rely on the fidelity of physical models that are computed during the refinement process.
