The SIGMA1 (σ1) kernel broadening method is presented to Doppler broaden to any required accuracy a cross section that is described by a table of values and linear-linear interpolation in energy-cross section between tabulated values. The method is demonstrated to have no temperature or energy limitations and to be equally applicable to neutron or charged-particle cross sections. The method is qualitatively and quantitatively compared to contemporary approximate methods of Doppler broadening with particular emphasis on the effect of each approximation introduced.
