Abstract

Refers to: “D. Sagatov, “Comparative analysis of copper X-radiation intensity with LiF and KBr crystals”, tbusphys, vol. 2, no. 1, p. 0007, Jan. 2024. doi: 10.54355/tbusphys/2.1.2024.0007”

In the originally published version of this article, the Methods section lacked detailed information about the experimental apparatus specifications, data acquisition process, and statistical analysis. The following corrections have been made:

1. Section 2 (Methods):

- The revised text now includes specific details of the experimental setup: manufacturer and model of the HUBER X-ray diffraction system, goniometer configuration, collimator aperture, scan parameters, and data acquisition software (SPEC Control Software).

- Additional details have been added on repeated measurements (triplicate readings), calculation of mean values, standard deviations, and propagation of error for wavelength and energy estimations.

- Statistical reliability criteria (<2% relative uncertainty) have been introduced to validate the results.

1. Minor textual clarifications were made to improve reproducibility and accuracy of the described procedure.

Additionally, the following references have been updated:
