+The lab report consists of writing up some of the results you have obtained from the practical work.
+You should write up the following tasks from [wiki:KEMM37/Lab1A Lab 1A] and [wiki:KEMM37/Lab1B Lab 1B]
+== [=#intro Introduction] ==
+This exercise will introduce you to analysing SANS data using geometrical models in !SasView. You will first look at how different shapes produce different scattering patterns, and how the model parameters affect the scattering pattern. You will then load some real SANS data and attempt to fit models to the data in !SasView.
+== Scattering Models ==
+The exercise is divided into 3 sections:
+Include your plot results from tasks 5 and 7 and answer the questions there.
+. [#section1 Familiarisation with SasView]
+. [#section2  Exploring geometrical models]
+. [#section3 Fitting SANS data]
+== Polydispersity and Resolution ==
 Before beginning the exercise, you must first ensure that !SasView is installed. If you have not done so already, follow [wiki:TartuSchoolSasViewInstall these installation instructions].
+Include your plot results from tasks 8 and 9. Answer the questions there and compare the effects of polydispersity and resolution on the data.
+Tasks you should perform are shown thus:
+{{{
+#!div style="background: lightblue"
+**TASK 0:** Install !SasView. Installation instructions can be found here: [wiki:TartuSchoolSasViewInstall]
+}}}
+== Fitting SANS Data ==
+=== SLD Calculation ==
+Calculate SLD by hand and using one other method from the list in Task 12. Show your working for the hand calculation.
+== [=#section1 1.] Familiarisation with !SasView ==
+{{{
+#!div style="background: lightblue"
+[=#task1 **TASK 1:**] Start !SasView. The application should open and look something like the images below.
+}}}
+|| [[Image(tartu_sasviewmac.png, 500px)]] || [[Image(tartu_sasviewwin.png, 500px)]] ||
+|| !SasView 4.1.2 on Mac OS || !SasView 4.1.2 on Windows 10 ||
+The !SasView user interface contains 4 main areas:
+* The Data Explorer
+  * This is where data is loaded and can then be plotted or sent to the various types of analysis.
+  * Models not associated with data (called "Theories" in !Sasview) can be plotted and converted to datasets.
+* The Analysis Panel (which defaults to showing Fitting)
+  * This is where you do the work of analysing data or generating theories
+  * !SasView currently supports four analysis tools:
+     * Fitting - for theory generation or model fitting to 1D and 2D SANS, SAXS, or SESANS data
+     * P(r) Inversion - for converting I(Q) to P(r)
+     * Invariant - for calculating the scattering invariant from a 1D data set
+     * Correlation Function - for performing a correlation function analysis of a 1D data set
+* The plot windows (which appear when something is plotted)
+* The menus, toolbar, and status area.
+The capabilities of !SasView are described in more detail in the [http://www.sasview.org/docs/user/user.html  application documentation] with links to the relevant parts of the documentation available as "Help" buttons in each part of the GUI.
+{{{
+#!div style="background: lightblue"
+[=#task2 **TASK 2:**] Briefly familiarise yourself with !SasView panels, menus and documentation. Try changing to different analysis tools.

+== [=#section2 2.  Exploring geometrical models] ==
+In this part of the exercise, you will plot the scattering patterns calculated using different geometrical models and explore the effect that the model parameters have on the scattering.

+== [=#section3 3. Fitting SANS data] ==

+=== [=#section31 3.1 Background Information] ===
+Deep eutectic solvents are a class of ionic liquids formed from a hydrogen bond donor and a halide salt. At a certain mixture ratio, the eutectic mixture, the melting point is significantly depressed to values below room temperature.
+Here we will examine the self-assembly of a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfactant surfactant], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_dodecyl_sulfate sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)] in the deep eutectic solvent formed from a 1:2 molar ratio mixture of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choline_chloride   choline chloride] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urea   urea].

+{{{
+#!div style="background: lightblue"
+[=#task10 **TASK 10:**] Download the SANS data :  [attachment:TartuSasViewTutorialData.zip] and unzip the file in a known location on your filesystem. Note where you have placed the data.
+}}}
+You should now have a folder containing a set of files named as follows:
+[[Image(tartu_datafileslist.png)]]
+The data are SANS curves collected on SANS2D at ISIS and D22 at ILL for samples of protonated (normal) SDS in 1:2 d9-choline chloride:d4-urea. This sample was chosen to give maximum contrast and minimum background signal from incoherent scattering. There were 7 samples with 0.2 wt%, 0.5 wt%, 1.0 wt%, 2.0 wt%, 5.0 wt%, 7.5 wt% and 10 wt% of SDS in the DES with the filenames corresponding to each sample given below:
+|| Surfactant Concentration (wt%) || Data File ||
+|| 0.2 || 0p2hSDS_dChCldUrea_sub.txt ||
+|| 0.5 || 0p5hSDS_dChCldUrea_sub.txt ||
+|| 1.0 || 1hSDS_dChCldUrea_sub.txt ||
+|| 2.0 || 2hSDS_dChCldUrea_sub.txt ||
+|| 5.0 || 5hSDS_dChCldUrea_sub.txt ||
+|| 7.5 || 7p5hSDS_dChCldUrea_sub.txt ||
+|| 10.0 || 10hSDS_dChCldUrea_sub.txt ||
+All the data files have been processed to 1D scattering curves with the solvent background subtracted to leave only the coherent scattering signal on absolute scale.
+=== [=#section32 3.2 Calculating Scattering Length Density] ===
+The scattering length density is given by

+{{{
+#!div style="background: lightblue"
+[=#task11 **TASK 11:**] Calculate the scattering length density (SLD) of a 1:2 mole ratio mixture of choline chloride and urea.
+Use the information in the table above to calculate the SLD. There are multiple ways to do so, including:
