This document outlines the allowed and forbidden x-ray diffraction reflections from common crystal unit cell types, including primitive, body-centered, face-centered, FCC diamond, and hexagonal unit cells. It specifies the mathematical rules that determine whether reflections are allowed or forbidden based on the Miller indices H, K, and L for each unit cell type.
