AXEAP (ARGONNE X-RAY EMISSION PACKAGE)

Abstract

Argonne X-ray Emission Package (AXEAP), a singular purpose software package for processing X-ray emission (XES) images collected with a 2-dimensional position sensitive pixel array detector, has been developed. AXEAP can rapidly convert XES image files into a spectral form by applying parallel computation and unsupervised machine learning to compute vast amount of image data. Special focus has been placed on designing user-friendly-interface for processing multiple edges, non-resonant and resonant x-ray emission image analysis, in order to make data processing quick and easy. AXEAP is free software and is written in MATLAB, armed with powerful libraries and toolboxes. The software runs on all common operating systems such as Linux, Window, and Mac.
