Size-distribution inversion of polydisperse spheres using a SANS data set. The intensity data contain 986 points; we cut off its noisy high-q end to keep 285 points for inversion. The radius r ranges from 400 to 800 Å, discretized by 1000 points. (a) shows the convergence of in one FFSAS run through the trust-region iterations; the final one suggests four populations, as annotated by their Gaussian approximations. (b) compares the curves obtained by the four codes; for SasView, we use one Gaussian as the functional form. Because Irena (MaxEnt), SasView and McSAS all yield a flat , we choose one of the early FFSAS solutions (after 25 iterations) for the comparison. The area under all the curves is 1, so the y-axis scale of (b) (dispersive or flat) is much smaller than that of (a) (localized or spiky). (c) shows the intensity observation and the I(q) curves predicted by the curves given in (b), plus one for perfect monodispersity at 710 Å as a baseline. |
