John recently asked me a question that bought forward a possible shortcoming in my code. In the high-X region, where the radcor tables print zeroes, we still have data, so I think I was throwing it away since I couldn't bin-center it.

A while ago, I was encouraged to use the simple xsi-scaling model in that region, but I spaced on it.

After being reminded, I went ahead and did that for the bin-centering at x>A for deuterium.


Doesn't look *too* bad, right? So, if (&Delta&sigma/&sigma)=1/&radic(N), then I can figure out the number of left over electrons from the relative error.


Still, a lot of left-over electrons. John suggested that I check out F2/A for a few nuclei vs the current model of F2 that we have in xsi-scaling to see if it's out of whack.


I refit it, and plugged it back into my code, but it didn't really make a difference. So, then, I tried using the Aluminium tables to bin-center past x>A, since it's all dummy back there anyway, but that also did not yield stellar results.

These are not the greatest and best cross sections in the world, but they're pretty good
