Abstract

Neutron reflectometry analysis is an inherently ill-posed, which is to say that there are many possible solutions which agree equally well with the measured data. This leads to the application of model-dependent analysis, where information that we know about the system is integrated into our analysis. This tutorial briefly covers the mathematics underlying the use of model-dependent analysis in neutron reflectometry.
