Abstract
We present DENNIS (Diffraction Experiment desigN and
aNalysiS): a graphical software tool useful for the design and
analysis of dynamic x-ray diffraction experiments, such as those
performed on the Z Pulsed Power Facility, Thor Pulsed Power
Generator, and Dynamic Compression Sector (DCS) of the Advanced
Photon Source. DENNIS provides rapid powder and single-crystal
diffraction pattern predictions and powder diffraction pattern image
integration in three-dimensional geometries. Additional features
include crystallographic information file reading, image processing,
and synthetic diffraction pattern image generation. We overview the
software's capabilities, detail the prediction and integration
methodologies, and provide example implementations on Z and DCS
experiments.
