The GaussianComptonProfile function describes the Compton profile of a nucleus using a Gaussian approximation convoluted with an instrument resolution function, that is approximated by a Voigt function. The function approximates the Count rate, \(C(t)\) as [1],
for the given mass, M, \(J_M\) is approximated using a Gaussian and \(R_M\) is the resolution function. In Equation \(\ref{a}\), the term \(A_M\) is proportional to the scattering intensity and \(\left[\frac{E_0I(E_0)}{q}\right](t)\) depends on the incident neutron spectrum, which are both obtained the input workspace to the fit.
The Gaussian approximation, \(J_M\), takes two input parameters,
The instrument resolution, \(R_M\), is approximated by a Voigt function using the VesuvioResolution function.
