Make KE spectra of electrons for GeoNu elastic scattering #599

Open stdye opened 7 months ago

stdye commented 7 months ago

Working code for calculating the KE spectrum of electrons for 8B solar neutrinos is here-

https://github.com/geoneutrinos/reactors/blob/4fc722a1e4a9590c4ce964d3ece4fbd8ceaa7a5f/src/solar/index.ts#L80

Apply this function, appropriately adapted, to the default GeoNu nuclide (235U, 238U, Th232, 40K_beta) spectra. The resulting spectra can then be weighted by the corresponding rates and summed to give the KE rate spectrum.

The usual assumption of average oscillation probability applies.

A plot with the normalized spectra, one curve for each nuclide, appears on the GeoNu tab.
