Definition
Centric or acentric distribution usually refer to the X-ray diffracted intensity distribution. It is in general possible to distinguish between a centrosymmetric or a non-centrosymmetric space group by considering their intensity distribution. The figure below represents the-cumulative intensity curves for the acentric, centric and hypercentric-distributions as fraction of the means intensity
