Description

Converts physical beam parameters of a symmetric, double lateral Gaussian shape beam, i.e. central (=peak) fluence and width (= 1 standard deviation) to technical, accelerator parameters, i.e. total number of particles and FWHM

sigma.cm

beam width stdev (array of size n).

Value

N

resulting absolute particle numbers (array of size n)
