What this means is that, in the triple axes type
of measurements for example, where we have a single detector (solid
angle :math:`d \Omega_i` is a constant), we should not
normalize data by monitor and then add different experiments together. The monitor
normalize data by monitor counts and then add different experiments together. The monitor
count is a proxy for the incident flux. We should instead
add raw data together, add monitors together, and only then divide.
