Any arbitrary overall normalization of the gamma-ray yield data is acceptable, unless the user is trying to normalize to the collision partner's gamma-ray yields or to the elastic cross section. This is because Gosia fits one overall normalization constant to all yield data, representing the factors of beam current, beam time, etc. | Any arbitrary overall normalization of the gamma-ray yield data is acceptable, unless the user is trying to normalize to the collision partner's gamma-ray yields or to the elastic cross section.
