r"""
This model provides the form factor, *P(q)*, for a multi-lamellar vesicle
with *N* shells where the core is filled with solvent and the shells are
interleaved with layers of solvent. For *N = 1*, this returns the VesicleModel.

Definition
----------

This model is a trivial extension of the CoreShell function to a larger number
of shells. See the core_shell_ function for a diagram and documentation.

.. _core_shell: core_shell_sphere.html

Be careful! The SLDs and scale can be highly correlated. Hold as many of these
parameters fixed as possible.

.. figure:: img/multi_shell_geometry.jpg

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}

.. note:
    The outer most radius
    $core_radius + n_pairs * s_thickness + (n_pairs - 1) * w_thickness$
    is used as the effective radius for *S(Q)* when $P(Q) * S(Q)$ is applied.


Our model uses the form factor calculations implemented in a c-library provided
by the NIST Center for Neutron Research (Kline, 2006).
