_pd_proc.intensity_bkg_calc.

The computed background values should include all normalization corrections,
and thus are specified on the same scale as the observed intensities
(_pd_meas.counts_* or _pd_meas.intensity_*, and _pd_calc.intensity_total).
and thus are specified on the same scale as the other calculated intensities
such as _pd_calc.intensity_total. Indeed the sum of
_pd_proc.intensity_bkg_calc and _pd_calc.intensity_net should be
_pd_calc.intensity_total.

If more than one type of background is specified for a particular
diffractogram, then it is assumed they are linearly additive.
