2This model calculates the form factor for a flexible cylinder with an
3elliptical cross section and a uniform scattering length density.
4The non-negligible diameter of the cylinder is included by accounting
5for excluded volume interactions within the walk of a single cylinder.
6The form factor is normalized by the particle volume such that
7
8.. math::
9
10    P(q) = \text{scale} \left<F^2\right>/V + \text{background}
11
12where the averaging $\left<\ldots\right>$ is over all possible orientations
13of the flexible cylinder.
14
15The 2D scattering intensity is the same as 1D, regardless of the orientation
16of the q vector which is defined as
17
18.. math::
19
20    q = \sqrt{q_x^2 + q_y^2}

26The function calculated in a similar way to that for the flexible_cylinder model
27from the reference given below using the author's "Method 3 With Excluded Volume".
28The model is a parameterization of simulations of a discrete representation of
29the worm-like chain model of Kratky and Porod applied in the pseudo-continuous
30limit. See equations (13, 26-27) in the original reference for the details.
31
32.. note::
33
34    There are several typos in the original reference that have been corrected
35    by WRC. Details of the corrections are in the reference below. Most notably
36
37    - Equation (13): the term $(1 - w(QR))$ should swap position with $w(QR)$
38
39    - Equations (23) and (24) are incorrect; WRC has entered these into
40      Mathematica and solved analytically. The results were then converted to
41      code.
42
43    - Equation (27) should be $q0 = max(a3/sqrt(RgSquare),3)$ instead of
44      $max(a3*b/sqrt(RgSquare),3)$
45
46    - The scattering function is negative for a range of parameter values and
47      q-values that are experimentally accessible. A correction function has been
48      added to give the proper behavior.

53The chain of contour length, $L$, (the total length) can be described as a chain
54of some number of locally stiff segments of length $l_p$, the persistence length
55(the length along the cylinder over which the flexible cylinder can be considered
56a rigid rod).
57The Kuhn length $(b = 2*l_p)$ is also used to describe the stiffness of a chain.
58
59The cross section of the cylinder is elliptical, with minor radius $a$ .
60The major radius is larger, so of course, **the axis ratio (parameter 5) must be
61greater than one.** Simple constraints should be applied during curve fitting to
62maintain this inequality.
63
64The returned value is in units of $cm^{-1}$, on absolute scale.
65
66In the parameters, the $sld$ and $sld\_solvent$ represent the SLD of the
67chain/cylinder and solvent respectively. The *scale*, and the contrast are both
68multiplicative factors in the model and are perfectly correlated. One or both of
69these parameters must be held fixed during model fitting.
70
71**No inter-cylinder interference effects are included in this calculation.**
