r""" For information about polarised and magnetic scattering, click here_. .. _here: polar_mag_help.html Definition ---------- The 1D scattering intensity is calculated in the following way (Guinier, 1955) .. math:: I(Q) = \frac{\text{scale}}{V} \cdot \left[ \ 3V(\Delta\rho) \cdot \frac{\sin(QR) - QR\cos(QR))}{(QR)^3} \ \right]^2 + \text{background} where *scale* is a volume fraction, $V$ is the volume of the scatterer, $R$ is the radius of the sphere, *background* is the background level and *sld* and *solvent_sld* are the scattering length densities (SLDs) of the scatterer and the solvent respectively. Note that if your data is in absolute scale, the *scale* should represent the volume fraction (which is unitless) if you have a good fit. If not, it should represent the volume fraction times a factor (by which your data might need to be rescaled). The 2D scattering intensity is the same as above, regardless of the orientation of $\vec q$. Our model uses the form factor calculations as defined in the IGOR package provided by the NIST Center for Neutron Research (Kline, 2006). 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 #sphere-comparison` shows a comparison of the output of our model and the output of the NIST software. .. _sphere-comparison: .. figure:: img/sphere_comparison.jpg Comparison of the DANSE scattering intensity for a sphere with the output of the NIST SANS analysis software. The parameters were set to: *scale* = 1.0, *radius* = 60 |Ang|, *contrast* = 1e-6 |Ang^-2|, and *background* = 0.01 |cm^-1|. Reference --------- A Guinier and G.
