Description

Sample for use in a SAXS instrument, models hard, monodisperse spheres in thin solution.
The shape of the sample may be a filled box with dimensions
xwidth, yheight, zdepth, a cylinder with dimensions radius and yheight,
a filled sphere with radius R.

Example: Saxs_spheres(R = 20, Phi = 1e-3, Delta_rho = 0.6, sigma_abs = 50, xwidth=0.01, yheight=0.01, zdepth=0.005)

Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
