Simplified transport equation solved on a grid Y1 - 2020 VL - 76 IS - 3 SP - 376 EP - 389 JF - Acta Crystallographica Section A DO - 10.1107/S2053273320002065 DO - 10.23689/fidgeo-4472 N2 - The generalized Darwin–Hamilton equations [Wuttke (2014). Acta Cryst. A70, 429–440] describe multiple Bragg reflection from a thick, ideally imperfect crystal. These equations are simplified by making full use of energy conservation, and it is demonstrated that the conventional two-ray Darwin–Hamilton equations are obtained as a first-order approximation. Then an efficient numeric solution method is presented, based on a transfer matrix for discretized directional distribution functions and on spectral collocation in the depth coordinate. Example solutions illustrate the orientational spread of multiply reflected rays and the distortion of rocking curves, especially if the detector only covers a finite solid angle.
