6.3.2 Feature G2-18:58:31 (continued)

Figures 6.94 through 6.97 show the results for model M2 channels E3 and F2. It can be seen that as the magnitude of the scattering coefficient is reduced, the features go from filled in to fitting. Model M2 seems to fit the features better in a more consistent manner than model M1. The correlations with the real data for model M2 are shown in Figure 6.98 (for E1), Figure 6.99 (for E3), and Figure 6.100 (for F2). The correlations with the real data for model M1 are shown in Figure 6.101 (for E1), Figure 6.102 (for E3), and Figure 6.103 (for F2).

	Figure 6.94 (A) Simulated M2 and real (Re) rate profile for feature G2-18:58:31 of Channel E3 normalized to 90º of pitch. The simulated runs are done in extended bounce mode with scattering included. (B) The pitch and phase angles are computed from the look direction of the EPD detector and the appropriate magnetic field vector R for real and S for simulated.
