3Small angle X-ray and Neutron scattering (SAXS and SANS) examines the
4scattering patterns produced by a beam travelling through the sample
5and scattering at low angles.  The scattering is computed as a function
6of reciprocal space $q$, which arises from a combination of beam wavelength
7and scattering angles. Each pixel on the detector corresponds to
8a different scattering angle, and has a distinct $q_x$ and $q_y$. If the
9sample is unoriented, the scattering pattern will appear as rings on the
10detector.  In this case, a circular average can be taken with 1-dimension
11data at $q = \surd (q_x^2 + q_y^2)$ compared to the orientationally
12averaged SAS scattering pattern.

[19dcb933]14The sasmodels package provides theory functions for small angle scattering
[8ae8532]15calculations for different shapes, including the effects of resolution,
16polydispersity and orientational dispersion.
