The SAXSCylinders McXtrace Component

12.15  The SAXSCylinders McXtrace Component

A sample of monodisperse cylindrical particles in solution.

Identification

  • Author: Martin Cramer Pedersen (mcpe@nbi.dk)

  • Origin: KU-Science

  • Date: May 2, 2012

Description

A component simulating the scattering from a box-shaped, thin solution of monodisperse, cylindrical particles.

Example: SAXSCylinders( xwidth = 0.01, yheight = 0.01, zdepth = 0.01, SampleToDetectorDistance = 0.48, DetectorRadius = 0.1 )
