A TECHNIQUE TO RECOVER MISSING SCATTER INTENSITY INFORMATION AND REDUCE NOISE, REQUIRING NO A PRIORI KNOWLEDGE by Gary K Doherty¹ and George A. Poland^{2 1}Saacke Combustion Systems Ltd. Marshland Spur Farlington Portsmouth PO6 1RX England ²University of Portsmouth PO1 2RY England.

A new technique is presented which recovers missing scatter intensity data, reduces the noise levels of the measured points and estimates the incoherent level when applied to experimental small angle scattering data.

The method differs from those of other authors in that only the measured data is used; no parameters need to be supplied, such as the number of splines or sinusoids to use, and no initial estimates of particle dimensions are required. The technique takes a new view of the work presented in Doherty & Poland (1996), both simplifying and extending the application of the same underlying principle.
