Excel
- The raw data was processed in excel. The elastic energy was determined and subtracted and the analyzer intensity signal was divided by I0
- The raw data for x number of scans was averaged in excel. 
- The averaged corrected data was exported in text file format

Athena
- The data was imported to Athena
- Data was turncated to remove data points 
	- before 380 eV and after 450 eV (long energy) saved in Imidazole_solid_solution_APS_August_2016_380-450eV file (better to use normalized data from this file, looks better)
- The data was exported from athena as normalized data (norm and flat norm)

for the solid data, one data point at 399.997 eV was removed (a glitch)

Fityk
- flat normalized data was used in fitting
- all parameters alongside original data was imported from fityk to be plotted in origin (generate publishable plots)
