The score function for each a ∈ A is given by score(a) := q∈Q ϕ δ (a • q) , which counts how many reciprocal spots in Q have their dot product with a being at most δ away from its closest integer, i.e., they are "δ-close" to satisfying the Laue condition. We rank the candidates vectors in A according to their value score(a) and keep only the top t of them.
