@MaximeLagrange has shown that energy loss during propagation can be significant, and can lead to large differences in the scattering distributions. Currently, muons keep the same momentum throughout their flight.
We should add in a simulation of this E-loss in the muon scattering.
However, since this E-loss will also affect inference, and may complicate the optimisation, we should make the E-loss be optional.
