'''Vacuum''' is space devoid of matter. In [[x-ray]] [[scattering]] experiments, samples are often measured under vacuum conditions in order to minimize [[GISAXS_measurement_time#Sample_damage|sample degradation]] and to reduce the [[background]] from air scattering.

As a material, vacuum can be considered to have an x-ray [[refractive index]] of exactly 1.0, to have zero contribution to scattering, and to have zero [[absorption]]. (Of course these are only strictly true for a perfect vacuum.)
