abstract = {This work addresses the use of the Gaussian approximation
as a common tool to extract atomic motions in proteins from
elastic incoherent neutron scattering and whether
improvements in data analysis and additional information can
be obtained when going beyond that. We measured
alpha-lactalbumin with different levels of hydration on
three neutron backscattering spectrometers, to be able to
resolve a wide temporal and spatial range for dynamics. We
demonstrate that the Gaussian approximation gives
qualitatively similar results to models that include
heterogeneity, if one respects a certain procedure to treat
the intercept of the elastic intensities with the momentum
transfer axis. However, the inclusion of motional
heterogeneity provides better fits to the data. Our analysis
suggests an approach of limited heterogeneity, where
including only two kinds of motions appears sufficient to
obtain more quantitative results for the mean square
displacement. Finally, we note that traditional
backscattering spectrometers pose a limit on the lowest
accessible momentum transfer. We therefore suggest that
complementary information about the spatial evolution of the
elastic intensity close to zero momentum transfer can be
obtained using other neutron methods, in particular, neutron
spin-echo together with polarization analysis},
