ENH: detctor efficiency correction for azimuthal averaging #137

At higher energies, the conversion probability for photons becomes <1 and thus a function of the thickness of detector material traversed.

I estimate that the absorption length for silicon for a 9.,5-10 keV photon is about 100 micron and for a 16 keV photon about 700.
