15the form factor for a polydisperse and/or angular population of particles with
16uniform scattering length density. The resultant form factor is normalized by
17the average particle volume such that P(q) = scale*&lt;F*F&gt;/Vol + bkg, where
18F is the scattering amplitude and the &lt; &gt; denote an average over the size
[b9958b3]19distribution.  Users should use PD (polydispersity: this definition is different from the typical definition in polymer science)
20for a size distribution and Sigma for an
21angular distribution (see below).</span></p>
[50764a4]22<p> Note that this computation is very time intensive thus applying polydispersion/angular distrubtion for
[b9958b3]23more than one paramters or increasing Npts values might need extensive patience to complete the computation. Also
24note that even though it is time consuming, it is safer to have larger values of Npts and Nsigmas.</p>
