X-ray Analysis for Synchrotron Applications using Python
Larch
Larch is an open-source library and set of applications for processing and analyzing X-ray absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy data and X-ray fluorescence and diffraction image data from synchrotron beamlines. It is especially focussed on X-ray absorption fine-structure spectroscopy (XAFS) including X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine-structure spectroscopy (EXAFS). It also supports visualization and analysis tools for X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectra and XRF and X-ray diffraction (XRD) images as collected at scanning X-ray microprobe beamlines.
Larch is written in Python, making heavy use of the excellent scientific python libraries (numpy, scipy, h5py, matplotlib,and many more). Larch can be used as a Python library for processing and analyzing X-ray spectroscopy and imaging data. In addition, the applications built with it also use a
