arXiv listing abstract v1. Results and the main claim are underlined; show every role.

We discuss various methods to obtain the resolution volume for neutron scattering experiments, in order to perform absolute normalization on inelastic magnetic neutron scattering data. Examples from previous experiments are given. We also try to provide clear definitions of a number of physical quantities which are commonly used to describe neutron magnetic scattering results, including the dynamic spin correlation function and the imaginary part of the dynamic susceptibility. Formulas that can be used for general purposes are provided and the advantages of the different normalization processes are discussed.

The paper

Original abstract

We discuss various methods to obtain the resolution volume for neutron scattering experiments, in order to perform absolute normalization on inelastic magnetic neutron scattering data. Examples from previous experiments are given. We also try to provide clear definitions of a number of physical quantities which are commonly used to describe neutron magnetic scattering results, including the dynamic spin correlation function and the imaginary part of the dynamic susceptibility. Formulas that can be used for general purposes are provided and the advantages of the different normalization processes are discussed.

The measured intensity $I_meas$ was normalized into absolute units of $μ_B^2$eV$^-1$/Fe by the integrated incoherent elastic scattering intensity $I_inc$ from the sample, using the formula [ref] [equation] where $μ_B$ is the Bohr magneton, $f(Q)$ is the wave-vector ($Q$) dependent magnetic form factor of Fe$^2+$, p is a constant of 0.27$×$10$^-12$ cm, $n_j$ and $σ_inc, j$ are the molar ratio and the incoherent cross section for the element in the compound respectively.
