  "dcterms:description": "Reference concepts for X-ray absorption spectroscopy, minted for the CDIF-4-XAS project. They are not republished from an upstream vocabulary: they were assembled by reconciling the XDI dictionary, the NeXus NXxas application definitions and the project's XAS mapping spreadsheets into one technique vocabulary that both the XDI and the NeXus binding resolve against. Definitions are sourced rather than invented -- dc:references on each concept cites the specification, dictionary or paper it came from, rdfs:seeAlso points at the NeXus manual page where one exists, and the fourteen detection-mode concepts were generated by tools/add_detection_mode_concepts.py from NXDL <doc> text. URIs are minted under https://w3id.org/cdif/xas/ because neither source vocabulary offers usable ones: XDI defines no IRIs, and the NeXusOntology PURLs under purl.org/nexusformat do not resolve. A w3id namespace can be redirected to an official vocabulary later without breaking data already published. UPDATING: this file is the master; edit it directly. The concepts were originally curated in XAS_Glossary.xlsx, which no script read and which was retired to archive/XAS_Glossary_deprecated.xlsx on 2026-07-28. After changing a concept run crosswalk/build_crosswalk.py --check, which fails if a crosswalk subject no longer resolves here, and regenerate the per-concept files with tools/generate_concept_files.py.

In XAS, monochromator energy is critical for scanning across absorption edges to extract fine structural information such as XANES and EXAFS.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collimated_beam). Collimators are divided according to shape, energy, spatial resolution and sensitivity of collimator. This is determined by the thickness of collimator, hole density, and thickness of partitions.   According to shape collimators can be: --- multi-hole collimator with parallel holes: collimator with thousands of holes, which are in a parallel axis with detector. Detector image has the same size. This is the most often used collimator. --- divergent collimator:  collimator with holes diverging towards the radiation source. It allows to gain bigger picture than surface of crystal, but it is smaller sensitivity and spatial resolution-It takes up an area larger than the area of the detector. --- convergent collimator: collimator with holes converging to radiation source. That´s what we get enlarged picture of little organ with an increased sensitivity and a spatilal resolution-It spreads a small area of the object over a larger area of the detector. --- pinhole collimator:  funnel-shaped collimator with diametr hole 3-5 mm. It provides enlarged picture wit the highest positional resolution, but there is low sensitivity (extends examination time). It is extended time of examination. It is inteded for observation of small organs (for example, thyroid gland, testicles). --- fan beam collimator: this type has focus in transversal direction while it is parallel in axial direction; has more than 50% higher spatial resolution than parallel type. It is used in cerebral computer tomography.   Thickness of the collimator varies in line with the energy of the emmiter. A low energy collimator paired with a high energy emmiter would leak photons an cause blur in the signal (https://www.wikilectures.eu/w/Collimator,  https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.C01155)",
