DESCRIPTION

Model describes a Gaussian shaped peak including a flat background.

Resolution smeared version is also provided.

VARIABLES

Input Variables (default values):

Parameter Variable Value
0Scale100.0
1Peak Position (Å-1)0.05
2Standard Deviation (Å-1)0.005
3Incoherent Background (cm-1)0.0

USAGE NOTES

The function calculated is:

Peak Gauss Equation 1

with the peak having height of I0 centered at qpeak having a standard deviation of sigma. The FWHM is 2.354*sigma.

REFERENCE

TEST DATASET

This example dataset is produced by calculating the PeakGauss using 300 data points, qmin = 0.001 Å-1, qmax = 0.7 (Å-1) and the above default parameter values.
