Model intensity () and resulting smeared intensities as a function of scattering vector for hard spheres of 100 nm mean radius at a volume fraction of 0.4 with 1% polydispersity included. The ideal intensity has been smeared using the two algorithms discussed in the text, one based on numerical integration of equation (6) (solid lines) and the other of equation (11) (symbols), both for Gaussian beam profiles characterized by standard deviation σ, as labeled. Results are also shown (dashed lines) for a Gaussian resolution function, i.e. × . The results have been shifted along the intensity axis for clarity. |
