Good morning Jon,
Ah yes that is a good word from quantum mechanics but no it isn’t in the IUCr 
Dictionary, nor in the Statistical Descriptors section on Recommendations. 
http://ww1.iucr.org/iucr-top/comm/cnom/statdes/recomm.html 

In Laue mode, Xray or neutron, the MPR should be large enough to allow 
determination of the Lambda curve. This is achieved through repeated 
measurements of the same hkl at different wavelengths from more than one 
crystal orientation or its symmetry mates at the same or different crystal 
orientations. High completeness in Laue especially at low d spacings requires 
deconvolution of energy multiples and is also helped by repeat measurements at 
different crystal orientations and a high crystal symmetry. 

Treading hopefully deftly with my terminology,
John 

Emeritus Professor John R Helliwell DSc
