Description

Sample for use in a SANS instrument, models hard, mono disperse 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.

Example: Sans_spheres(R = 100, 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.
