MINIMUM_ZETA is a parameter determining how close reflections may be to the 'blind region' of reciprocal space to still be integrated. On the detector, the blind region consists of two cones starting at the direct beam position, and extending along the spindle, to both directions. | MINIMUM_ZETA is a parameter determining how close reflections may be to the 'blind region' of reciprocal space to still be integrated.

Therefore it is clear that in particular for these data it is a good thing to decrease MINIMUM_ZETA because accurately measured reflections are added to the data set. | ||
