CONTIN-multiq

CONTIN-multiq is a special version of CONTIN for the following applications:

It includes the Splice package (documented in the CONTIN User's Manual), which can perform the simultanoeus global analysis of several data sets that differ from each other only in (unknown) scale factors and in the values of T (the independent variable, usually time) at which they have been measured; e.g., it can "splice" together a series of data sets that have been measured over different (possibly overlapping) T ranges.
In addition, the CONTIN-multiq package can perform a global analysis on sets of photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS) data collected at different values of the scattering vector, q, and/or with optional user-supplied form factors.
Further, it can optionally globally analyze these multi-q PCS data sets as distributions on two grids. One grid is the usual translational diffusion grid. The other grid is independent of q.
