“…The 2-TCF is generally represented as a two-dimensional graph of the value of CorrðQ; t 1 ; t 2 Þ, GðQ; t 1 ; t 2 Þ or CðQ; t 1 ; t 2 Þ for a fixed Q, with axes t 1 and t 2 (see x2.2). Brown et al (1997) introduced an alternative coordinate system, which has subsequently been widely used in the XPCS literature (Malik et al, 1998;Brown et al, 1999;Livet et al, 2001;Sutton et al, 2003;Fluerasu et al, 2005;Ludwig et al, 2005;Fluerasu et al, 2007;Mü ller et al, 2011;Orsi et al, 2010Orsi et al, , 2012Chushkin et al, 2012;Livet & Sutton, 2012;Bikondoa et al, 2012;Ruta et al, 2012). Using this alternative coordinate system, approximated 1-TCFs are often extracted from the 2-TCF at different sample ages or observation times.…”
