moyal_distribution

romanisim.cr.moyal_distribution(x, location=120, scale=50)

Return unnormalized Moyal distribution, which approximates a Landau distribution and is used to describe the energy loss probability distribution of a charged particle through a detector.

Parameters:

x1-d array

An array of dE/dx values (units: eV/micron) that forms the grid on which the Moyal distribution will be evaluated.

locationfloat

The peak location of the distribution, units of eV / micron.

scalefloat

A width parameter for the distribution, units of eV / micron.

Returns

moyal1-d array of floats

Moyal distribution (pdf) evaluated on x grid of points.
