flat_internal_noise

flat_internal_noise(noise_level=0.003, pix_area=0.16000000000000003, e_min=4, e_max=120, det_shape=(80, 80))[source]

compute the flat internal noise value in a detector shape image

The internal noise is independent from wavelength

Parameters:
  • noise_level (float) – internal noise level in cts/s/cm2/keV (default is 0.003)
  • pix_area (float) – area of a pixel of the instrument in cm2
  • e_min (float) – energy min to integrate in keV (default is 4)
  • e_max (float) – energy max to integrate in keV (default is 120)
  • det_shape (tuple) – shape of detector
Returns:

internal noise detector image in cts/s

Return type:

array(float)
