“…Thus, it should be possible, in principle, to determine the absolute energy scale to an equal accuracy using the MDCS. In practice, however, several sources of errors like the measurements statistics (Thomsen & Yap, 1968), the residual asymmetry due to miscuts of the crystal's surface with respect to the reflecting planes (Deutsch & Hart, 1982), the centroid shift of the crystal reflection curves due to nonzero absorption (Thomsen, 1974) etc. will limit the actual accuracy achieved in a particular measurement.…”
