5This model fits the Guinier function
6
7.. math::
8
9    I(q) = \text{scale} \cdot \exp{\left[ \frac{-Q^2 R_g^2 }{3} \right]}
10            + \text{background}
11
12to the data directly without any need for linearisation (*cf*. the usual
13plot of $\ln I(q)$ vs $q^2$\ ). Note that you may have to restrict the data
14range to include small q only, where the Guinier approximation actually
15applies. See also the guinier_porod model.
16
17For 2D data the scattering intensity is calculated in the same way as 1D,
18where the $q$ vector is defined as
19
20.. math:: q = \sqrt{q_x^2 + q_y^2}
21
22In scattering, the radius of gyration $R_g$ quantifies the objects's
23distribution of SLD (not mass density, as in mechanics) from the objects's
24SLD centre of mass. It is defined by
25
26.. math:: R_g^2 = \frac{\sum_i\rho_i\left(r_i-r_0\right)^2}{\sum_i\rho_i}
27
28where $r_0$ denotes the object's SLD centre of mass and $\rho_i$ is the SLD at
29a point $i$.
30
31Notice that $R_g^2$ may be negative (since SLD can be negative), which happens
32when a form factor $P(Q)$ is increasing with $Q$ rather than decreasing. This
33can occur for core/shell particles, hollow particles, or for composite
34particles with domains of different SLDs in a solvent with an SLD close to the
35average match point. (Alternatively, this might be regarded as there being an
36internal inter-domain "structure factor" within a single particle which gives
37rise to a peak in the scattering).
38
39To specify a negative value of $R_g^2$ in SasView, simply give $R_g$ a negative
40value ($R_g^2$ will be evaluated as $R_g |R_g|$). Note that the physical radius
41of gyration, of the exterior of the particle, will still be large and positive.
42It is only the apparent size from the small $Q$ data that will give a small or
43negative value of $R_g^2$.
