: the coordination number for the absorber-backscattering pair.
: the average absorber-backscattering distance.
: the difference in Debye-Waller factors between sample and standard.
: the inner potential correction.
Value in the parentheses is standard deviation (in the last given digit) calculated from the covariance matrix and the estimates of the noise level in the raw data.
