Determine an appropriate simulator noise model for RIXS inference
Determine the appropriate noise model for the RIXS simulator, including whether shot noise can be neglected generally or whether Poisson noise augmentation is required for photon-starved measurements.
References
An open question is the noise model in the simulator as we currently assume negligible shot noise, which is defensible if the NiPS$_3$ measurement is high-count, but Poisson augmentation would be required for photon-starved data.
