     5This model calculates the SAS signal of a phase separating system  
     6undergoing spinodal decomposition. The scattering intensity $I(q)$ is calculated  
     7as

    89.. math:: 
    910    I(q) = I_{max}\frac{(1+\gamma/2)x^2}{\gamma/2+x^{2+\gamma}}+B

    11 where $x=q/q_0$ and $B$ is a flat background. The characteristic structure 
    12 length scales with the correlation peak at $q_0$. The exponent $\gamma$ is 
    13 equal to $d+1$ with d the dimensionality of the off-critical concentration 
    14 mixtures. A transition to $\gamma=2d$ is seen near the percolation threshold 
    15 into the critical concentration regime. 
     12where $x=q/q_0$, $q_0$ is the peak position, $I_{max}$ is the intensity  
     13at $q_0$ (parameterised as the $scale$ parameter), and $B$ is a flat  
     14background. The spinodal wavelength is given by $2\pi/q_0$.  
     15 
     16The exponent $\gamma$ is equal to $d+1$ for off-critical concentration  
     17mixtures (smooth interfaces) and $2d$ for critical concentration mixtures  
     18(entangled interfaces), where $d$ is the dimensionality (ie, 1, 2, 3) of the  
     19system. Thus 2 <= $\gamma$ <= 6. A transition from $\gamma=d+1$ to $\gamma=2d$  
     20is expected near the percolation threshold.  
     21 
     22As this function tends to zero as $q$ tends to zero, in practice it may be  
     23necessary to combine it with another function describing the low-angle  
     24scattering, or to simply omit the low-angle scattering from the fit.
