Combined dataset of elemental X-ray line properties

This R package contains a dataset of X-ray line (transition) and edge energies, natural line widths, and fluorescence yields for the elements Z=4 (Be) to Z=103 (Lr).

This package also provides a matching algorithm that given a set of energies can suggest the most closely matching elemental transitions based on some rudimentary heuristics.

Install this package

To use this package, install it directly from this repo:

install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("solarchemist/xraylines")

If you encounter bugs or have any feedback please open an issue.

Develop this package

Check out the source code from this repo:

git clone https://github.com/solarchemist/xraylines.git

I suggest the following package rebuild procedure:

• Run devtools::check() (use document=TRUE to also update the docs). Should complete with no warnings or errors, and 2 notes:

── R CMD check results ──────────────────── xraylines ────
Duration: 12.7s

❯ checking top-level files ... NOTE
  Non-standard file/directory found at top level:
    ‘CITATION.cff’

❯ checking package subdirectories ... NOTE
  Found the following CITATION file in a non-standard place:
    CITATION.cff
  Most likely ‘inst/CITATION’ should be used instead.

0 errors ✔ | 0 warnings ✔ | 2 notes ✖

• Run devtools::build_vignettes(). This recompiles the vignettes and populates the doc/ directory.

Contributions welcome!
