What is it about?
This article describes how the scattering from any crystal is not confined to the vicinity of the Bragg condition and leads to a simple explanation for the scattering from an imperfect crystal and the suppression of dynamical effects.

Why is it important?
Because the intensity is not confined to the vicinity of the Bragg condition, the integrated intensity around these peaks is not representative of the structure factor. This has implications in the determination of structures.
