====== Fixed_Incident_Beam_Thick_Sample_Absorption ======

This macro is part of a collection of macros that are used to model the effects of a flat plat sample with a fixed angle incident beam.

There is a nice overview of their application in [1]. Individual references are given for each macro.

Thick Sample absorption correction for fixed incident beam geometry. There is a typo in the delta function in the original reference. It's correct here.\\
