The errors in the simulated data are based on Poisson statistics and the expected number of days, beam current, etc. to estimate your ability to observe desired gamma-ray yields and to fit matrix elements to the observed yields. The present beta version applies ''optionally'' a quasi-gaussian random scatter of the predicted yield data [http://www.pas.rochester.edu/~hayes/beta_rachel/experiment_planning_2.html as demonstrated in this video] to better aid in predicting expected precision of fitted matrix elements. Watch this supplemental video to see how this works. You should also watch the [http://www.pas.rochester.edu/~hayes/beta_rachel/accuracy_testing.html accuracy testing video] to see if Gosia would be an appropriate analysis tool for your planned experiment. | ||
