Hey all of you,
Hope all is well where you are.
Lately, I've noticed some researchers/workers in neutron spectrometry
using the terms unfolding and deconvolution interchangably. This is
not a correct thing to do.
Unfolding (and iterative unfolding) are described in the book
Accelerator Health Physics by Patterson and Thomas. It has been
commonly used to analyze neutron spectrometry data. There are
recent improvements in this technique, I think.
Deconvolution (and convolution) are described in the Mathematical
Physics book by Matthews and Walker. Deconvolution is regularly used in
the fields of geophysics and seismology. That's it.
Alpha creep, huh? Wow. Creep is also used in seismology to
describe rather slow movements of (earthquake) faults.
Take care. Regards, Joseph R. (Joe) Preisig, Ph.D.
