Density.sigma_factor — Sigma factor

The sigma factor determines the width of the Gaussian distribution used to represent each atom in the model. The default value of $1/(2 * \sqrt(2log2))$ (0.4246609) results in the width of the Gaussian at half the maximum height being equal to Density.resolution.
