  • Detector Noise Simulation

Hello all,

I know that a diffraction pattern can be simulated in Topas with fixed scale factors. Is it possible to add detector noise to the simulated pattern as it can be done e.g. in FullProf?

Regards

Does anyone know how the "amount" of noise is calculated? In the manual, it just says: Instructs TOPAS to randomize the calculated pattern Yc using a Normal distribution and writes Yc to the file $file.
How is the width (would that be sigma?) of the normal distribution defined in this case?

I would guess that it would be sqrt(Yc). Have a go and see what it looks like.
