Welcome to the "Diffraction powder patterns on GPUs" section!
Powder diffraction patterns are computed by the means of the Debye scattering equation [1], without any approximation apart those inherent in the use of floating point math [2].

Only the elastic component of the scattered intensity is considered. Please feel free email us any request.
