Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install python3-xraylarch on Debian 12.

What is python3-xraylarch

python3-xraylarch is:

Larch is a library and set of applications for processing and analyzing X-ray absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy data and X-ray fluorescence and diffraction image data from synchrotron beamlines.

Larch is especially focussed on X-ray absorption fine-structure spectroscopy (XAFS) including X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine-structure spectroscopy (EXAFS). It also supports visualization and analysis tools for X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectra and XRF and X-ray diffraction (XRD) images as collected at scanning X-ray microprobe beamlines.

This package installs the larch module and scripts for Python 3.

  • GSE MapViewer for GSECARS X-ray microprobe data.
  • Larch CLI and Gtk GUI.
  • XAS Viewer for XAFS Processing and Analysis.
  • XRF Display to display and analyze XRF Spectra.

The Larch CLI is available as larch_cli in Debian.
