Notes

The probability density function for moyal is:

f (x) = exp (- (x + exp (- x)) /2) / 2 π

for a real number $x$ .

%(after_notes)s

This distribution has utility in high-energy physics and radiation detection. It describes the energy loss of a charged relativistic particle due to ionization of the medium ^[1]. It also provides an approximation for the Landau distribution. For an in depth description see ^[2]. For additional description, see ^[3].
