    Abins broadening: rework normalisation to work with extreme values · e216c68b
    Adam J. Jackson authored
    Normalise Gaussians by multiplying by bin-width instead of dividing by
    sum(values). The sum approach can go badly wrong if values lie near or
    beyond the sampling range, as as tail fragment (or noise floor!) would
    be amplified to unity. Scaling by the theoretical value as we do here
    has a different downside: truncated broadening kernels will not quite
    sum up to 1, so a little intensity is lost in broadening. This error
    is more tolerable, especially as it can be decreased by extending the
    truncation range.
