Dear Juro, for our old D5000 diffractometer with secondary graphite monochromator we used 0.5 as pol. factor, that worked quite well. However, we now have also a new D4 system, but with the Vantec PSD detector without monochromator then LP should be 0. We have at this moment the same problem. Do you have an airscatter snout installed on your system to prevent airscatter effects at low 2 theta angles? We think that in our case this may be the reason for the problems, because it is possible that the airscatter snout may cut off some intensity of the primary beam at higher 2 theta angles. Kind regards, Stefan
