(2) As compared with Frevel's method, the least-squares method proposed in the present work for intensity matching can give better results and provide more information which may be helpful for further discrimination of the candidates.References DISMORE, P.

One of the present authors (AWS) has recently made minor modifications and corrections to the original version (such changes do not affect the results previously derived) and documentation has been included. The new version of the program is more convenient for general use and a listing is available upon request to either university to which the authors belong. The main difference from the other, above-mentioned, programs is the use of the spherical-volume approximation (SVA) in the evaluation of the volume integral with respect to the wave vector. In the SVA, the parallelepiped swept out by the counter in the course of measurements around a reciprocal-lattice point is replaced by a sphere of appropriate volume, which enables us to reduce the triple integral appearing in the calculation of TDS to a surface integral, in this paper the main features of the program in its present form are given.
