The profile fit weights each pixel by 1/v with v = max(bkg, floor) + max(0, I)*P, where I is the fit's own current estimate. Rectifying it means that at true zero the plug-in is E[max(0,I)] = 0.4*sigma rather than 0, and with sum(P^3)/sum(P^2)^2 = 4/3 for a Gaussian the reported sigma comes out about 0.2 counts too large - always, additively. That is nothing at sigma ~ 7 counts and 11% at sigma ~ 2, so it only shows on data measured against roughly one background count. Clamp the whole weight instead of the intensity: v = max(bkg + I*P, bkg/2). Simulation of the real integrator gives claimed/true sigma 0.92-1.01 at zero intensity across backgrounds 0.02-2.0 ct/px and 1.000-1.007 above I = 30, where the clamp never binds. Dropping the signal term entirely instead (v = max(bkg, floor)) is exact at zero and wrong everywhere else - 1.91 at I = 5, 4.29 at I = 30, 13.3 at I = 300 - and a test built on systematically absent reflections cannot see that, because it only measures zero. Removing the clamp altogether overshoots and biases the intensity, since a downward fluctuation shrinks v at the peak and over-weights it. The pixel variance floor was 1/12, documented as the rounding of a continuous energy. That does not describe a photon counter: measured on raw frames at 0.065-0.082 ct/px, var/mean is 1.042-1.045, i.e. Poisson with no digitisation term, and a digitisation term would be additive rather than a floor. What the floor really protects is the background estimate, which a small ring can read as exactly zero, so it belongs at the resolution of that estimate, ~1/n_bkg. At 1/12 it multiplied the reported variance by floor/bkg below 0.083 ct/px - a factor of two at 0.04. Set to 0.01. Measured on systematically absent reflections, whose true intensity is zero, as std(I)/rms(sigma) binned by background - not std(I/sigma), which is deflated by the correlation between the plug-in sigma and the reflection's own fluctuation. On 2.78 M absent observations at 0.16-3 ct/px the ratio goes 1.04-1.07 to 0.99-1.00. On 2.58 M at 0.005-0.6 ct/px, decomposed: the clamp carries it above 0.08 ct/px, the floor below it. Intensities move 0.4%; this changes sigma, not I. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
