r""" This model provides the form factor, $P(q)$, for a flexible cylinder where the form factor is normalized by the volume of the cylinder. **Inter-cylinder interactions are NOT provided for.** .. math:: P(q) = \text{scale} \left/V + \text{background} where the averaging $\left<\ldots\right>$ is applied only for the 1D calculation The 2D scattering intensity is the same as 1D, regardless of the orientation of the q vector which is defined as .. math:: q = \sqrt{q_x^2 + q_y^2} Definitions ----------- .. figure:: img/flexible_cylinder_geometry.jpg The chain of contour length, $L$, (the total length) can be described as a chain of some number of locally stiff segments of length $l_p$, the persistence length (the length along the cylinder over which the flexible cylinder can be considered a rigid rod). The Kuhn length $(b = 2*l_p)$ is also used to describe the stiffness of a chain. The returned value is in units of $cm^{-1}$, on absolute scale. In the parameters, the sld and sld\_solvent represent the SLD of the cylinder and solvent respectively. Our model uses the form factor calculations implemented in a c-library provided by the NIST Center for Neutron Research (Kline, 2006). From the reference: 'Method 3 With Excluded Volume' is used. The model is a parametrization of simulations of a discrete representation of the worm-like chain model of Kratky and Porod applied in the pseudocontinuous limit. See equations (13,26-27) in the original reference for the details.
