Position and momentum densities. Complementarity at work: refining a quantum model from different data sets Original Research Article

Although Bragg and Compton scattering are well-established techniques, only very few attempts to simultaneously combine information originating from these two experiments have been made so far. This remark also holds for Bragg neutron magnetic combined with X-ray scattering. We propose a quite general procedure to refine a quantum model from different data sets using basic Bayesian probability theory. As an illustration, a qualitative preliminary study to extract chemical information such as charge transfer in ionic-covalent compounds is reported.
