  EDS Spectrum Analysis and Background Modeling
  
  While the characteristic peaks in EDS spectra are usually the focal point of any spectral analysis, the background signal and Bremsstrahlung also carry significant information about the sample and analysis conditions. Various models and filters are used to separate the background from the characteristic peaks with each having their advantages and drawbacks. In this presentation by Dr. Jens Rafaelsen, we go through some of the basics of EDS signal generation and detection in order to discuss the merits of the different approaches to the background signal and what information it can give us.

- Dynamic EBSD Pattern Simulation
  
  Dynamic EBSD Pattern Simulation
  
  Kinematical based simulation has helped move EBSD forward but lacks the ability to realistically capture the intensity of the bands in the patterns. In recent years, significant strides have been made to improve the simulation of EBSD patterns using a dynamical model of diffraction. The ability to more accurately simulate diffraction has helped advance EBSD development in several ways. In this presentation, we will briefly describe dynamical simulation of diffraction and three specific applications based on dynamical diffraction: reflector optimization, dictionary indexing, and background generation.
