     2========= 
     3Small angle X-ray and Neutron scattering (SAXS and SANS) examines the 
     4scattering patterns produced by a beam travelling through the sample 
     5and scattering at low angles.  The scattering is computed as a function 
     6of reciprocal space $q$, which arises from a combination of beam wavelength 
     7and scattering angles. Each pixel on the detector corresponds to 
     8a different scattering angle, and has a distinct $q_x$ and $q_y$. If the 
     9sample is unoriented, the scattering pattern will appear as rings on the 
     10detector.  In this case, a circular average can be taken with 1-dimension 
     11data at $q = \surd (q_x^2 + q_y^2)$ compared to the orientationally 
     12averaged SAS scattering pattern.

     16polydispersity and orientational dispersion.
