5Small angle X-ray and Neutron (SAXS and SANS) scattering examines the
6scattering patterns produced by a beam travelling through the sample
7and scattering at low angles.  The scattering is computed as a function
8of $q_x$ and $q_y$, which for a given beam wavelength corresponds to
9particular scattering angles. Each pixel on the detector corresponds to
10a different scattering angle. If the sample is unoriented, the scattering
11pattern will appear as rings on the detector.  In this case, a circular
12average can be taken with 1-dimension data at $q = \surd (q_x^2 + q_y^2)$
13compared to the orientationally averaged SAS scattering pattern.

15Models have certain features in common.
16
17Every model has a *scale* and a *background*.
18
19Talk about orientation, with diagrams for orientation so that we don't need
20a link on every model page?

32Talk about polydispersity.
33
34Talk about magnetism, converting the magnetism help file to inline text here,
35with links so that models can point back to it.
36
37Need to talk about structure factors even though we don't have any
38implemented yet.
