Spectral Broadening Geant4

Hi!

I’m simulating electron to x-ray conversion, and I’ve noticed my characteristic emission lines are modelled as dirac delta functions at the exactly expected energy, when experimentally, they would have some associated width. I’ve tested different fluorescence databases (standard, ANSTO, Bearden) and found this to be the case for all.

What changes would I have to make to the simulation to see this broadening? Is it an optical process?

Hi all,

I’d like to know as well.

My presumption is that you convolve the peak of interest with a Gaussian?
Where the parameters of the Gaussian have been experimentally determined?
