Gamma Flux Results: Version 1

Updated 2001-02-08

Data from the 1^st version of the DCypher.Net clients have been used as a basis for fitting a non-linear expression that describes the gamma flux distribution.

So far, 2965567 work units have been analyzed. In other words, 3172021284 gamma rays have been traced through the geometry using the 'line-of-sight point attenuation kernel method' as descibed in the physics page.

Let's assume that a function on the form given in equation (1) could describe the flux distribution reasonably well. In order to test the assumption, that function was fitted to the data using the method of least squares. a_i=1,2,3 were the fitted parameters. Further detail about the math used in this procedure may be found in reference 1.

This function is being fitted to the available data right now. Results will be published here as soon as possible.
