Definition
----------

The output of the 2D scattering intensity function for oriented cylinders is
given by (Guinier, 1955)

.. math::

    P(q,\alpha) = \frac{\text{scale}}{V}f^2(q) + \text{bkg}

where

.. math::

    f(q) = 2 (\Delta \rho) V
           \frac{\sin (q L/2 \cos \alpha)}{q L/2 \cos \alpha}
           \frac{J_1 (q r \sin \alpha)}{q r \sin \alpha}

and $\alpha$ is the angle between the axis of the cylinder and $\vec q$, $V$
is the volume of the cylinder, $L$ is the length of the cylinder, $r$ is the
radius of the cylinder, and $d\rho$ (contrast) is the scattering length density
difference between the scatterer and the solvent. $J_1$ is the first order
Bessel function.

To provide easy access to the orientation of the cylinder, we define the
axis of the cylinder using two angles $\theta$ and $\phi$. Those angles
are defined in Figure :num:`figure #cylinder-orientation`.

.. figure:: img/image061.JPG   (should be img/cylinder-1.jpg, or img/cylinder-orientation.jpg)

    Definition of the angles for oriented cylinders.

.. figure:: img/image062.JPG

    Examples of the angles for oriented pp against the detector plane.

NB: The 2nd virial coefficient of the cylinder is calculated based on the
radius and length values, and used as the effective radius for $S(Q)$
when $P(Q) \cdot S(Q)$ is applied.

The output of the 1D scattering intensity function for randomly oriented
cylinders is then given by

.. math::

    P(q) = \frac{\text{scale}}{V}
        \int_0^{\pi/2} f^2(q,\alpha) \sin \alpha d\alpha + \text{background}

The *theta* and *phi* parameters are not used for the 1D output. Our
implementation of the scattering kernel and the 1D scattering intensity
use the c-library from NIST.

Validation
----------

Validation of our code was done by comparing the output of the 1D model
to the output of the software provided by the NIST (Kline, 2006).
Figure :num:`figure #cylinder-compare` shows a comparison of
the 1D output of our model and the output of the NIST software.

.. _cylinder-compare:

.. figure:: img/image065.JPG

    Comparison of the SasView scattering intensity for a cylinder with the
    output of the NIST SANS analysis software.
    The parameters were set to: *Scale* = 1.0, *Radius* = 20 |Ang|,
    *Length* = 400 |Ang|, *Contrast* = 3e-6 |Ang^-2|, and
    *Background* = 0.01 |cm^-1|.

In general, averaging over a distribution of orientations is done by
evaluating the following

.. math::

    P(q) = \int_0^{\pi/2} d\phi
        \int_0^\pi p(\theta, \phi) P_0(q,\alpha) \sin \theta d\theta


where $p(\theta,\phi)$ is the probability distribution for the orientation
and $P_0(q,\alpha)$ is the scattering intensity for the fully oriented
system. Since we have no other software to compare the implementation of
the intensity for fully oriented cylinders, we can compare the result of
averaging our 2D output using a uniform distribution $p(\theta, \phi) = 1.0$.
Figure :num:`figure #cylinder-crosscheck` shows the result of
such a cross-check.

.. _cylinder-crosscheck:

.. figure:: img/image066.JPG

    Comparison of the intensity for uniformly distributed cylinders
    calculated from our 2D model and the intensity from the NIST SANS
    analysis software.
    The parameters used were: *Scale* = 1.0, *Radius* = 20 |Ang|,
    *Length* = 400 |Ang|, *Contrast* = 3e-6 |Ang^-2|, and
    *Background* = 0.0 |cm^-1|.
