Hi Irmi, This is not a programming error -- the cross sections in the various tables that Hephaestus can use do vary, sometimes by as much as 10%. That reflects the current (or perhaps "historic") uncertainty in the absolute values of the actual cross-sections. For EXAFS (and even XANES), the abs

Dear listmembers, I´m a student at the very beginning with synchrotron radiation and we use Hephaestus to calculate the flux through an ionisation chamber. I have some questions (sorry about my bad english): To make it short, I think I have found an error in the tool. In the tool "formulas" I
