New page

The '''scattering intensity''' is the amount of radiation (e.g. [[x-ray]] or [[neutron]]) [[scattering|scattered]] at any particular angle. This quantity is usually given by <math>\scriptstyle I(q)</math>, where ''q'' is the [[momentum transfer]] (a vector in [[reciprocal-space]]).

+The form factor describes the ''shape'' of scattering objects, whereas the structure factor describes the organization of these objects (disordered, in a [[lattice]], etc.). The scattering intensity, <math>\scriptstyle I(q)</math>, is what is measured experimentally on a [[detector]] (including a possible [[background]]). However, this quantify is frequently converted into (or treated as), <math>\scriptstyle P(q)</math> or <math>\scriptstyle S(q)</math>, in order to perform further analysis.
