✦ Synopsis

We present neutron scattering data which indicate that the local structure of La~CuO4 in the LTO phase is disordered. Data from two different diffractometers are compared and systematic differences between the pair distribution functions (PDF) of the LTO model and the data are reproduced in both cases.
