TY - JOUR AU - Wuttke, Joachim TI - No case against scattering theory JO - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America VL - 114 IS - 40 SN - 0027-8424 CY - Washington, DC PB - National Acad. of Sciences M1 - FZJ-2017-07008 SP - E8318 PY - 2017 N1 - Letter AB - In a series of papers, Frauenfelder et al. (1⇓–3) propose a radical reinterpretation of incoherent neutron scattering by complex systems, specifically by protein hydration water, drawing into doubt the “currently accepted model, used for >50 y” (3). Under this model they subsume not only assumptions about the scattering target (sample) but also the theory that connects sample and scattering signal. Effectively, they attack the insight (4) that the dynamic structure factor S(q,ω) (which they incorrectly call “the scattering intensity”) abstracts from scattering kinematics and depends only on nuclear position operators acting on the sample. They claim that the established theory … LB - PUB:(DE-HGF)16 C6 - pmid:28931577 UR - <Go to ISI:>//WOS:000412130500001 DO - DOI:10.1073/pnas.1710583114 UR - https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/838396 ER -
