Performs a solid angle correction on all detector pixels. This algorithm is usually called by SANSReduction or HFIRSANSReduction.
The solid angle correction is applied as follows:
\(I'(x,y)=\frac{I(x,y)}{\cos^3(2\theta)}\)
\(\sigma_{I'(x,y)}=\frac{\sigma_{I(x,y)}}{\vert\cos^3(2\theta)\vert}\)
If DetectorTubes is set to True, the correction is calculated according to a tube geometry. The cosine term above then becomes:
\(\cos^3(2\theta) \rightarrow \cos^2(2\theta) \cos(\alpha)\)
where \(\alpha\): is the angle between the sample-to-pixel vector and its projection on the X-Z plane.
