Realistic peak width and peaks convolution

Asked by Walter

Hello, I'm a new pyPENELOPE user. I'm trying to simulate some spectra of some real sample that I've already analized with EDS. From the results (I've attached a image in the end of this post for a better understanding, it's a simple specimen of 100% gold) it's possible to see that peak heights ratios are almost the same between the real spectrum (up) and the simulated one (down), but the simulated one is not realistic because the signals are lines and not bands, and all different signals are not convoluted like a real spectrum.
I'm wondering if it would be possible simulate spectra with more realistic appearence maybe adding some information of the detector used.

Thank you,

Walter

There is a fortran program distributed with penelope that can apply a convolution over the x-ray spectra. It is not supported by pypenelope but I can send you this program if you are still interested. Which operating system are you using?

Hello,
Thanks anyway for your reply! I'm still interested in the program, I'm a windows 10 user, but eventually i could access also to linux platform. There is a web site for download and documentation or I give you my email?
