Detector resolution function

By default, the detector has perfect resolution. Here we show how to set a finite blur.

  • The detector resolution function is a two-dimensional Gaussian with the same width for the $x$ and $y$ axes: $\sigma_x = \sigma_y = 0.0025^{\circ}$.
  • The wavelength is equal to $1$ $\unicode{x212B}$.
  • The incident angles are $\sigma_{\alpha_i} = \sigma_{\varphi_i} = 0.1^{\circ}$.

Besides this, the example is a DWBA simulation for our standard sample model, Cylinders in DWBA

  • The sample is composed of monodisperse cylinders deposited on a substrate.
  • The cylinders are dilute, and positioned at random, hence there is no interference between scattered waves.
