Spillover Spreading Error
Photon-counting statistics mean a bright signal in one detector adds variance, not just offset, to every detector it spills into, widening the negative distribution in proportion to the square root of the spilling signal. It is the reason a correctly compensated plot can still have an unusably smeared dim population.
