The ESS spectra for the CW version: the elastic scattered intensity as a function of the energy resolution for five samples with different quasi elastic widths (relaxation times) as indicated on the plot.
The curves are the best fits of sigmoidal functions (Eq. 11 in ref. 39) of the experimental points. Inset: (a) the ESS spectra as a function of the resolution time in picosecond; (b) the second derivative of the ESS spectra showing a maximum at the energy value that matches the system relaxation time.
